Incident INC-273

An operations agent has a temporary grant to read logs for Checkout. Billing and credential rotation fall outside the incident grant.

  • Scope access to the incident
  • Collect service logs
  • Withhold credential changes

Where to enforce policy

Bind the grant to the incident ID, the Checkout service and a limited lifetime. Reject requests for unrelated services or after the incident grant expires.

Separate reading logs from changing credentials. An agent with a read grant should never inherit write authority through a shared service account.

What to verify

Run the allowed and denied requests from the agent environment. Inspect both the policy decision and the downstream outcome. Confirm a request denied at the executor cannot succeed over a direct route.
