1 | Acme runs a testbed. They've delegated the authority to create |
---|
2 | experiments to all their partners. The Globotron company is one such |
---|
3 | partner. |
---|
4 | |
---|
5 | Acme.experiment_create <- Acme.partner.experiment_create |
---|
6 | Acme.partner <- Globotron |
---|
7 | |
---|
8 | Globotron has delegated the authority to anyone an admin thinks is a |
---|
9 | 'power user'. |
---|
10 | |
---|
11 | Globotron.experiment_create <- Globotron.admin.power_user |
---|
12 | |
---|
13 | Alice is an admin, and her friend Bob is a power user: |
---|
14 | |
---|
15 | Globotron.admin <- Alice |
---|
16 | Alice.power_user <- Bob |
---|
17 | |
---|
18 | From these credentials, it is possible to construct a proof graph |
---|
19 | showing that Acme.experiment_create <- Bob. |
