Administration Authorization

Administration must never bypass Identity enforcement. Every admin action requires an Identity authorization decision. Administration can record governance decisions, but it cannot make itself the enforcement owner for identity access.

Policy Configuration Boundary

Administration may configure policy inputs. The enforcing domain owns the policy decision at runtime. For example, Administration may configure an MFA requirement threshold, but Identity enforces MFA.
