Permissions
The Morta permissions system allows you as a project owner/admin to assign granular access controls for processes and tables.

Overview
The Morta permissions system is modelled on an attribute based access control system. Our Api allows you to grant access to specific processes/tables based on a single user, the project a user is in, or the tags they have been assigned.
Typically when a resource is created within Morta, the user who created will have owner permissions for the resource. If the resource is created within a project, all users within that project will have View access.
Key concepts:
Subject
This is the entity that is making a request for access
Attribute
A subject may have many attributes assigned to them, within Morta this will typically be: the projects they are in, their individual user id, or tags that have been assigned to them.
Resource
This is the object that is being accessed. This will either be a table or process.
Role
This can be one of 4 values: Viewer (0), Contributer (2), Reviewer (3), Owner (4)
Policy
This is a combination of: Attribute, Resource and Role. There can be multiple policies for a resource.
