1. Role Operational Scope & Responsibilities

Enforces the fundamental architectural role delegation boundary: Primary roles are NEVER assignable; only secondary roles with strictly lower hierarchy levels can be assigned by authorized managers.

2. Standard Operating Procedures & Model Rules

Users operating under the SuperAdmin role must execute standard operating procedures in accordance with the following model-level rules:

  • Role assignments must adhere to the role_management_rules pivot table: parent roles may assign only designated secondary roles.
  • Delegated permissions operate within strict tenant/shop scopes (`UserScopedRole`), preventing cross-tenant data leakage.
  • Automated privilege expiration: all temporary administrative delegations must carry a hard timestamp expiry not exceeding 30 calendar days.

3. Prohibited Operational Conduct & Model Abuse

The following actions constitute unauthorized privilege abuse or role misconduct, triggering automated Warning and Violation System intervention:

  1. Attempting to manually set `is_assignable = true` on any Primary role (Seller, Buyer, Franchise, Agency).
  2. Assigning roles across unequal hierarchy boundaries without explicit SuperAdmin multi-sig override.
  3. Creating circular role management hierarchies or self-delegating administrative capabilities.

4. Warning & Disciplinary Enforcement Matrix

Specific infractions under this role are mapped directly to disciplinary and operational sanctions:

Violation Code Offense Description Detection Method Severity Tier Cure Window Mandatory Sanction
VIOL-813-01 Attempted modification of primary role assignability status in database. Role Hierarchy Validator Trigger Tier 4 (Critical) Immediate Database transaction aborted, administrative alert logged, role lock enforced.
VIOL-813-02 Unauthorized vertical privilege escalation attempt via API token. API Scope Authorization Guard Tier 4 (Critical) Immediate API token instantly invalidated, user session frozen, security incident opened.
VIOL-813-03 Failure to review active delegated secondary roles during monthly audit. Delegation Audit Sweeper Tier 1 (Advisory) 48 Hours Automated expiry notice sent to managing supervisor.

5. Platform Protection & Regulatory Safe Harbor

Role Fiduciary Responsibility: Operating under the SuperAdmin role creates a strict fiduciary duty to preserve platform confidentiality, data protection compliance, and operational integrity.
