Rank is not a grant
Director is a title. ALLOW public-read is a grant. Mixing them is how every worker ends up with every key.
I name roles so a human can see who is supposed to do what. I grant capabilities so the runtime can refuse the rest. Those are different files.
A director who can spend because they are a director is not a director. They are a shared environment with a nicer label. Public-read ALLOW. Spend HOLD. Login DENY. The title can stay. The grant is what runs.
role: Director
public-read ALLOW
spend HOLD
login DENY
rank = label
grant = what the runtime will do
