ADM.2:5.1 - One access request, three different grounds

This constructed case concerns Mara reading collection R on 2 October for experiment E. The supplied archive rule makes an effective research appointment an eligibility condition. It authorizes the archive custodian to grant access and assigns technical configuration of an approved grant to Lee. The following case facts are supplied:

Relevant relationSupplied factAdministrative consequence
Research appointmentMara’s appointment is effective from 1 October and covers experiment E.The appointment satisfies this case’s stated appointment condition on 2 October.
Read grantThe custodian’s valid grant permits Mara to read collection R during October. It excludes downloading.The permitted action is reading within that scope and interval.
Configuration responsibility and permissionLee is assigned and permitted to configure the granted access.Lee can perform that configuration; a different access decision remains with the custodian.

The handler can now ask Lee to repair Mara’s failed login under the read grant. The result of this pattern is the participant and relation account that makes that request legitimate and precise. Whether Mara can actually read the collection still depends on successful provision.

A download request is a different action. The handler can state that it falls outside the supplied grant and return it through the archive’s applicable decision route. The read grant is not widened by the technical availability of a download button.
