What is the context?
Security Policies govern different aspects of data security in Meddbase. Each policy type (or certificate) governs a set of user permissions.
These permissions determine if or how users will be able to interact with data protected by a given policy or certificate, e.g. Company record protected by a Company Policy; Patient record protected by a Patient Policy.
Many permissions need to be used in conjunction with permissions governed by other certificates e.g. Patient Certificate(s).
