Permissions v User Consent discussion

All

Proposal:

Permission = Authorization to act

Data Permissions = the functional actions that are allowed on information (database: Create, Read, Update, Delete; communications: Copy, Transmit, Store; data flow: Collect, Use, Disclose) or resources.

User Consent = Voluntary agreement by the person to take an action. GDPR includes 'unambiguous'

• So, a system might be authorized to act on personal data with or without a user's agreement. A person may grant permission or authorize a system to act on personal data.

Questions:

• Is an OAuth 'consent' / 'authorization' / 'permission' dialog box truly 'user consent'?

  • If it is not 'user consent' then why not?

  • So: the process of obtaining agreement from the user in the OAuth dialog box is "User Consent". What the user has agreed that you can do with their resources is "authorization" in the sense that they give you 'permission' to take actions.

• How does this apply to Collection, Use and Disclosure of information? (these are the data flow words)

• To tease out the usable definition of 'authorization': What is the difference between Authorization and Access Control? (data & systems-context)

  • Authorization is the granted right to proceed (a.k.a 'permission')

  • Access control is the functional actions that are allowed

Alternative proposal:

• Permission is a general authorization to act. Authorization may be granted by actors that are not the data subject.

• Consent is a specific agreement to act in a limited case.

Note:

• Permission / authorization as a verb can be granted through an act of user consent.

Another proposal:

• Should the terms should be Authorization and User consent
