Authorization
Discretionary Right
A Discretionary Right is a legitimate right granted outside the standard modeled access framework.
Definition
A Discretionary Right is an access grant that exists outside the normal role or attribute model, even though it may still be business-legitimate. Because it does not flow naturally from the defined identity model, it requires stronger justification, bounded duration, and regular review to avoid becoming invisible residual access.
The Ariovis perspective
Exceptional access should be explicit, approved, time-bound and reviewed. It should not become permanent simply because the original request was never revisited.
