Authority rule seeding

Product: Context Claims

Authority rules are seeded before any user can settle a claim. A role without a rule cannot approve a payment, even if the user exists.

Authority model

Each rule names a role, a threshold, and the date it becomes effective. Later rules do not erase earlier ones. They supersede them from the effective date.

Seeding inputs

Input	Purpose
Authority rule set	Decides which roles may settle a claim
Threshold	Bounds the amount a role may approve
Effective date	Marks when the rule set becomes live

Validation

Reject a seed file when two rules for the same role share an effective date, or when a threshold is blank. Validation is a hard stop, not a warning the operator can click through.

Rollback

To roll back, seed a new rule set with a later effective date. Do not delete the previous rows. The claim that settled yesterday must still show the rule that allowed it.
