This page defines the decision contract for a resource session. Identity and SSO owns panel sign-in, while Roles and responsibilities owns role names.

Decision inputs

Input Question answered
Person Who is requesting the session?
Workspace Do the person and resource share the same operating scope?
Role responsibility Can the person perform this action?
Resource assignment Is this person assigned to this resource?
Duration Is the assignment currently valid?
Resource readiness Can the resource carry the session?
Session policy Which rules apply to this work surface?

The decision uses the current value of each input. Inventory visibility, a past session, or network reachability alone does not authorize a new session.

Decision outcomes

  • Open: the session can start for the specific person-resource relationship and current policy.
  • Closed: a missing or conflicting input returns a visible state to the person.
  • Re-evaluate: a duration, assignment, readiness, or policy change requires a new decision.

Removing an assignment closes new launches. Ending active work is a separate operation covered by Revocation and evidence.

Review result

A decision record shows person, resource, assignment, decision time, and outcome in one context. Resource readiness and Agent trust defines the readiness signals.
