Product-specific Access
After analyzing the different jobs-to-be-done (JTBD), we identified the following access requirements:
Actions |
...
create, read, update, delete, tag, classify, publish, comment |
...
Scope |
...
specific object access (e.g., “glossary A”, “dictionary C”, “PlantUML Diagram 1” …) |
| Info |
|---|
Note: |
...
in the short term, we will not implement scope, but will add later. |
Discussion topic: Many modern SaaS applications include collaboration aspects where users can individually grant access to specific documents, diagrams … for others to comment on or edit. Scope and collaboration may end up being the same thing.
Functional Roles
Description of the two functional roles not taking scope into account at this time.
Role | Description | Actions | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|

Glossary - Scope
Glossary may need to have Scope defined early on to ensure only specific users can access sensitive information. However, we won’t focus on that yet.
