Feature request: inherited permissions #2

Open robertlagrant opened 7 years ago

robertlagrant commented 7 years ago

Having permissions on an ancestor object (parent defined by business logic) grants the same permission to all descendant objects.

E.g. I'm an administrator for this team, so I can administrate only said team. Jennifer is an administrator for our entire department (comprised of 6 teams, including ours) and so can administrate our team (as well as the other 5). Phil is an administrator for the division, and so can administrate our entire department and 4 others.

Would you consider adding (say) an annotation that allows guardrail to know if an object is a "parent" of another object? So we simply have to say I have administrate permission on our team object; Jennifer has administrate permission on the relevant department object, and Phil has said permission on the relevant division object?
