Looking at the diagram below

Given Kim who:

• primarily acts as End-user
• owns multiple instances of solid storage
• has access to data on storage instances owned by multiple other social agents
  • each of those social agents also owns multiple instances of solid storage

Given an Application - Projectron which can work with Projects 📋 and Tasks ✅

We should try to answer the following questions:

1. How Kim (End-User) can Authorize Projectron (Application) to access specific subsets of Projects and Tasks, which she has access to across all those instances of solid storage? In the diagrams 8 storage instances, where Kim owns 2 of them and 3 other social agents own 2 storage instances each.
2. Once Authorized, how the Projectron (Application) can fetch all those Projects and Tasks to show it to Kim in UI?
3. How Kim can express Authorization Polices, broadly enough that they will apply to data that will be created in the future, especially in cases where:

• Kim herself or any of social agents already sharing some Projects and Tasks with her, set up new instance of solid storage, store some Projects and Tasks in it, and give access to some of them to Kim.
• New social agent (eg. Luis 🧑‍💻) gives Kim access to some Projects and Tasks on some of their instances of storage
