Authorised Activity Type (Class)
Description: "Activity Type" that an "Agent" has been authorised to perform by another "Agent".
Comment:
This could be very broad: 'General Surgical Duties', or narrower: 'Cardiac Surgical Duties'.

It could be a hospital's authorisation to a clinician that, although generally authorised to perform all surgical duties, the hospital only authorises the clinician to perform cardiac surgical procedures.

The relationship to "Activity Type" via "Activity Type Permission" and its subtypes, allows for selective inclusion and exclusion of Authorise Activities.

Description: "Agent" whose actions are subject to another's authority and control.
Comment:
The type of control would include permissions (may do), obligations (must do) and interdictions (must not do).

An "Agent" who invests authority in another shares some liability for the actions of those to whom it gives authority.

An example of an "Authorised Agent " would be Dr. Smithers given the authority by the NHS XYZ Trust to run the Medical Clinical Directorate.
