Editorial draft available to read. Factual and language review is pending. Examples are illustrative.
Decision and scope
Define roles through tasks and data scope rather than job titles alone. A person may need to view company-wide information while editing only records belonging to a specific team. Separate technical administration from commercial authority when those responsibilities are different, and make temporary delegation an explicit arrangement.
Illustrative example
Illustrative example: sales staff create their own quotations, a manager approves exceptional discounts, and support can inspect delivery status without viewing internal cost details. Permission checks apply to the underlying operation, including direct requests, rather than relying on a button being hidden in the interface.
Acceptance check
Test people holding multiple roles, substitute approvers and departures. Record who grants access and when it should be reviewed. Accept the design when every operation has an explicit rule and an unauthorized account receives a clear denial without changing the record.
Key takeaways
- Accept the design when every operation has an explicit rule and an unauthorized account receives a clear denial without changing the record.
