ADM.8:4.1 - Name the action and actual participants

Specify who intends to do what, to which resource or recipient, for what relevant purpose, extent and time. Identify whose grant is being used and whether the performer acts for another participant. Add a delegation question only when the action depends on one.

Separate neighboring actions when their permission conditions differ. A manager’s authorization to approve a travel expense does not automatically authorize the travel handler to approve it; the handler may instead be authorized to prepare the claim or issue a booking after that approval.

Use ADM.2 for an unclear participant or relation and ADM.3 for uncertain effectivity. Use already adequate results without rebuilding the organizational account.
