ADM.8:5.2 - A grant, a temporary restriction and an unresolved variant

A researcher has a valid read grant for collection R on 2 October. A security instruction restricts that same read action from 09:00 to 11:00. The supplied policy explicitly gives this temporary security restriction precedence during that interval. At 09:30 the handler applies that rule: the read action is restricted, and no additional discretionary decision is needed.

At noon the temporary restriction no longer covers the requested action. Suppose the grant and all its other conditions still hold and no other applicable restriction is present. The researcher can exercise the read permission. The earlier conflict does not create an all-day ban.

Now change the case: both conclusions apply at 09:30, but no matching precedence rule or adequate resolving decision is available. The handler returns the exact conflict to the authorized security/access decision maker and preserves the unresolved permission question. Naming that person is not the resolving decision.
