<h2>Authorization</h2>

<p>
<a>Verifiable credentials</a> are intended as a means of reliably identifying
subjects. Whilst it is recognized that Role Based Access Controls (RBAC) and
Attribute Based Access Controls (ABAC) rely on this identification as a means
of authorizing subjects to access resources, this specification
MUST NOT be used for authorization purposes without an accompanying
authorization framework.
</p>

<p>
The Working Group did consider authorization use cases during the creation of
this specification and is pursuing that work as an architectural layer that is
built on top of this specification.
