Reply to Adding Policies to roles (sections 1.4 and 2.1.3)

By Anne Nynke Topic posted 03/05/2017

[@mention:544274267266420910] No, my interpretation is that if the Website Strategy role has a Domain over "the website", then the Web Support role only has two ways to get a policy allowing him/her to impact that Domain:

  • Asking the Website Strategy role to create a role policy outside of a governance meeting
  • Proposing in governance a policy on the circle (not on Website Strategy) allowing him/her to impact the Domain. 

With option #2, it would essentially mean that Website Strategy controls the Domain, with the exception of the circle policy that allows Web Support to impact it in the ways specified by the policy. Makes sense?
