Access

Access decides who may reach what: which machine may connect to which, and which person may sign in as which account.

Two kinds of access

  • Network access is about machines. It says which machine may open a connection to which other machine in the mesh.
  • Login access is about people. It says who may become which account on which machine, whether by SSH, in a terminal of Infraternal, or in an app window.

A login needs both: the machine must be allowed to reach the other one, and the person must be allowed to sign in there. Trusting a machine alone never lets one account act as another.
