A table listing actions down one side and roles across the top, with a yes, no or scope in every cell.

Say it to an AI

Write a permissions matrix for expense approvals: actions as rows, Employee/Manager/Finance/Admin as columns, and a yes, no or scope in every cell. Enforce separation of duties: nobody approves their own expense, and over $1,000 needs Manager then Finance.
