Workload identity chain
01

Application: bot or system

02

User: actual requester

03

Delegation: permitted action

04

Policy: intersection of both scopes

05

Audit: retain both identities

Default to user scope intersected with application scope

A shared service account gives every requester one broad data range, while an unverified user header can be forged.

Authenticate both the workload and the end user, then apply the narrower combined policy.

Distinguish three invocation modes

A personal assistant, unattended workflow, and group-chat bot have different identity and distribution semantics.

Background automation needs a dedicated least-privilege workload identity, never a borrowed administrator account.

Delegation needs scope and expiry

Record which application may access which project, data, and operation for how long, with a revocation path.

Request new consent when scope expands and require another decision for high-impact export or action.

Group delivery and caching create leakage risk

A bot can retrieve under one user and publish to a wider room. Check audience and sensitivity before delivery.

Include organization, project, user, and policy version in cache keys so answers never cross identity boundaries.

Test hostile access paths

Exercise a low-privilege user with a powerful bot, membership removal, mid-session revocation, token replay, and cross-project cache cases.

AskTable.ai identity, organization, and project directions can be assessed; SSO, delegated tokens, bot adapters, and downstream channel controls require confirmation.
