Responsibility ​

What It Models ​

A responsibility expresses accountability rather than access to a feature or record.

Identity and Attributes ​

Declarations describe areas; holdings and cover describe the people expected to look after them over time.

Relationships ​

Attention names areas as audiences and resolves their effective holders through this service.

Invariants ​

Stored-active status and effective dates are distinct; the constraints do not prohibit every overlapping interval.

How It Is Stored and Shared ​

Responsibilities owns declarations, defaults, holdings, cover and gap rows. Attention reads effective holders. No custom-field capability is enabled.

Open Design Questions ​

Derived and template cover exceed the direct-only planning wording. Overlapping holdings, cover timing and delayed derived gap refresh need explicit treatment before preparation.

Invariants

INV-DOM-PFM-ELG-004-01
Responsibility holdings grant no permission; tests guard their exclusion from authorization imports.

The database rejects active direct duplicates with identical holder, area, scope and both endpoints; unequal overlapping windows are permitted.

INV-DOM-PFM-ELG-004-03
Each holding has one holder; database validation checks the user’s customer and whether the area permits its resource scope.

INV-DOM-PFM-ELG-004-04
Reusing a create key for identical input returns the existing holding; changed input under that key is refused.

A removed role-default row prevents registration and reconciliation from recreating that default.

Manual ending permits direct and template holdings and ends their cover atomically; derived and role-default holdings are refused.

INV-DOM-PFM-ELG-004-07
Cover creation requires a stored-active personal holding, an active colleague of the same customer and a bounded window; it does not constrain the start to the holding’s start.

INV-DOM-PFM-ELG-004-08
Direct creation, manual ending and default removal refresh affected gap rows atomically; derived synchronization does not refresh them.

INV-DOM-PFM-ELG-004-09
Ordinary ending retains and audits history, while workspace purge and foreign-key deletion can remove rows.
