Why this matters
Keep the permission language boring and precise.
Authorization scales when product, API, policy, and audit records describe the same decision in the same vocabulary.
- 01Use noun.action permissions: Define project.create, product.use, resource.delete, and other intentions instead of role-specific conditionals.
- 02Derive access from relationships: Model tenant, project, app, product, and resource hierarchy so inherited permissions are explainable.
- 03Scope context to the app: Issue only the permissions needed by the current surface to keep tokens small and reduce accidental authority.
- 04Exchange at boundaries: When a request crosses into another app or audience, exchange for a token with the required contextual permissions.
