Make it your own

Role
Name the affected role exactly.
Capability
Identify the single changed action and its scope.
Owner action
Supply any required configuration and authorized owner.

Prepare the role matrix

Record viewing, commenting, resolving and approving separately. Capture the intended role rather than cropping an administrator view. The sample comment's authorship is part of the evidence for the ownership condition.

Adapt for a removed permission

Replace the new-action demonstration with the approved alternative or escalation route. Explain who now owns the task. Do not use a celebratory upgrade treatment when the practical message is a restriction.

Review implicit access

Check whether any visible control implies capabilities outside the notice. The headline must retain the same ownership and assignment conditions as the demonstration. A broad access claim cannot be repaired by a tiny final qualifier.

Review checklist

  • The affected role appears before the action.
  • Object and ownership scope are explicit.
  • Captured permissions match the audience.
  • The closing action belongs to an authorized role.
