Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Permission denied state | Choose permission denied state when the primary cause is missing authorization, role membership, share grant, license entitlement, approval, or organization policy. | The denial is durable until the permission, account, role, policy, or request state changes. | Google Drive documents You need access, request access, owner notification, approved or denied outcomes, pending cases, wrong-account recovery, and policy limits. |
| Permission recovery | Choose permission recovery when the interface needs to guide users through request, approval, switch-account, policy, fallback, or retry-after-grant steps after a permission denial. | The recovery workflow opens from a known permission denial and keeps the original object or action attached when safe to reveal. | Google Drive documents request access with a reason, owner decisions, pending outcomes, wrong-account recovery, role levels, and policy limits. |
