Give every team member the right amount of authority

Each organization is its own tenant. Roles decide who can create tasks, configure policy, decide approvals and manage keys, and a per-member spend cap bounds what any one person can commit.

The problem

An AI workforce that anyone can point at a budget is a liability. A workforce nobody can use is useless. Teams need graded authority that is enforced by the backend, not by the interface.

How it works

  • Roles: Owner, Admin, Finance, Manager, Member and Viewer. The role-to-permission map is a pure function covered by unit tests.
  • No privilege escalation: nobody can grant a role above their own, and no change can leave an organization without an active Owner.
  • Per-member spend cap: the Circuit Breaker also checks the creating member's per-task limit.
  • Invites: members join through invitations with the same escalation rules.
  • Tenant isolation: tasks, events and live streams are filtered by organization. A non-member and a nonexistent organization get the same 404, and a suspended member is treated as a non-member.
  • Everything is server-side: the frontend never decides authority or money.

Limitations and trade-offs

  • Roles govern access and spend authority. They do not review the quality of output; independent QA does.
