docs/tenant-engine-{resource-namespace,action-vocabulary}.md: four actions
(tenant.create, tenant.role.grant, tenant.role.revoke, tenant.plan.assign)
matching tenant_engine/src/tenant_engine/authz.py's _RESOURCE_TYPES mapping
exactly. No resource_manifest.yaml -- tenant-engine's resources are created
dynamically, unlike ops-warden's fixed SSH-certificate inventory; documented
as a deliberate deviation.
examples/tenant-engine/: protected_system_manifest.yaml, subject_manifest.yaml
(one registered caller: tenant-engine's own service identity),
policy_package.md (Rego rules + embedded tests), policy_fixtures.yaml (8
allow/deny pairs), assembled registry_snapshot.json, two standalone
check_request examples, README.
Design decision made explicit in the workplan: operator/service-identity
authorization (one known subject, four known actions), not aal2+assurance +
tenant-capability-role checking -- CheckRequest carries no assurance claim
yet (TEN-WP-0003 already flagged actor as a plain request-body field, not a
real auth context), and a tenant's capability roles are the tenant's own
state, not a property of who may call tenant-engine's admin API. Revisit
once KEY-WP-0005 gives callers a real assurance-bearing identity.
Verified for real: built ./cmd/flex-auth, ran test-policy (6 tests + 8
fixtures, all pass), load-registry, check against both example requests.
Then ran a live flex-auth serve with this exact registry+policy and pointed
tenant-engine's real, unmodified FlexAuthCheckClient/FlexAuthWriteAuthorizer
at it over real HTTP: unknown subject -> 403, tenant-engine -> 201. go test
./... still green across the whole repo.
T03 (live-lookup context adapter for other protected systems) stays open --
new Go adapter package, tracked separately.

tenant-engine Action Vocabulary
This document defines the action vocabulary for tenant-engine as a
flex-auth protected system (FLEX-WP-0008-T01). Action names here match
tenant-engine's own authz.FlexAuthWriteAuthorizer mapping exactly
(tenant_engine/src/tenant_engine/authz.py) — coordinated between the two
repos, not independently invented.
| Action | tenant-engine write endpoint | Resource type | Decision effects |
|---|---|---|---|
tenant.create |
POST /tenants |
tenant |
allow, deny |
tenant.role.grant |
POST /tenants/{id}/roles/grant |
role-grant |
allow, deny |
tenant.role.revoke |
POST /tenants/{id}/roles/revoke |
role-grant |
allow, deny |
tenant.plan.assign |
POST /tenants/{id}/plan |
plan-assignment |
allow, deny |
These are the only four actions tenant-engine sends to POST /v1/check —
its FlexAuthCheckClient (TEN-WP-0003) never sends anything else, and
tenant-engine's reads (/roles, /roles/live) are never gated through
flex-auth at all; they're tenant-engine's own cache-read and live-lookup
endpoints, consumed by key-cape and flex-auth respectively.
Not in scope for this vocabulary
tenant-engine's capability roles (PLTF/IAM/VEN/CUS, ADR-0014) are
tenant state — what a tenant is allowed to do on the platform. This
vocabulary governs a different question: which operator/service
subjects are allowed to call tenant-engine's admin API at all. The two
must not be conflated — a policy package that checked a caller's action
against a tenant's capability roles would be checking the wrong thing.
See examples/tenant-engine/policy_package.md's Rules section for how the
distinction is enforced.
