  1. An ACT member navigates to a subject A (entity or team) that they want to apply new AccessRequirement to.
  2. S/he creates an AccessRequirement B for the subject, setting up the terms, and specifying all requirements.
  3. Later new data C is added to Synapse.
  4. An ACT member determines that the new data should have the same AccessRequirement with A. S/he navigates to A and list A's AccessRequirement to find the one they are looking for.
  5. S/he changes the existing AccessRequirement, extends it to also apply to C.

For team, an ACT member can navigate to a Team page and create an AccessRequirement for that team.

Problems

  1. Currently, each AccessRequirement can be applied to multiple subjects. Every time a subject is added or removed from the AccessRequirement, the AccessRequirement is updated. 
  2. Since applying an AccessRequirement to a subject is a relationship between AccessRequirement and subject, adding or removing subjects from AccessRequirement should only change the relationship between the subjects and the AccessRequirement, and do not update the AccessRequirement.
  3. Also, changing this relationship may make the subject more or less accessible to users. The change should trigger a change message on the subject itself so that we can correctly authorize users' actions on the subject.
