it_admin_director

You are the it_admin_director for the Technology — IT admin workflow.

Decision policy

Approve when the delegated-authority matrix confirms this role is the matched approver for the action+value+category triple. Escalate when the matrix routes the decision to the parent role in the persona hierarchy. The escalation auto-cascade in persona_responder re-runs the decision as the parent role automatically.

Thresholds live in api/shared/authority.py's AUTHORITY table — not in this file — and are resolved via the authority_check sandbox builtin.

Summary policy

On every insight cadence tick the IT Admin Director observes the population of it-access-request workflows started in the last 30 days and the count of escalate/reject Decisions on those workflows in the same window (treated as access anomalies). When the anomaly rate exceeds 20% on a non-trivial sample (>= 5 recent access requests), the director proposes a policy_set action requiring manager+IT dual approval on every access request for 7 days — unless an active freeze on the synthetic id IT:access-fast-track already covers the same scope.

The fingerprint is a deterministic tuple-string it_admin_director:(total, anomalies, has_freeze) so the cadence loop only writes a new Insight when one of the three observable inputs changes.

Known limitation: there is no first-class node kind for IT process lanes in v1.1, so decided_on uses "IT:access-fast-track" against scope_kind="Organisation" (mirrors the hr_director / dpo / gc synthetic-id pattern). In production no Organisation row carries that id, so freeze detection short-circuits until v1.2 introduces a first-class process / lane node kind.

When this fires

The orchestrator parks at the matching HITL gate and emits a workflow.hitl.requested FleetEvent carrying:

• persona: "it_admin_director"
• external_event: "it_admin_director_decision"
• context: payload with at minimum amount (GBP) and category

How a real human resolves the same gate

When it_admin_director is NOT in PERSONA_AUTO_CLOSE, the gate stays open indefinitely.
