The policy you provided appears to be written in Ory's permission language and it defines relationships between different entities (objects and subjects) in a system. Here's a breakdown of each line: 1. `Service:medicine#owners@(Group:tech#members)`: This line establishes a relationship where the members of the

tech

group are the owners of the

medicine

service. In other words, users in the

tech

group have ownership permissions over the

medicine

service. 2. `Service:medicine#viewers@(Group:operations#members)`: This line establishes a relationship where the members of the

operations

group are viewers of the

medicine

service. This means that users in the

operations

group have viewing permissions for the

medicine

service. 3. `Group:audit#parents@(Group:operations)`: This line establishes a relationship where the

operations

group is a parent of the

audit

group. The exact permissions this relationship grants would depend on the specific rules defined in your system, but it generally implies some level of control or oversight by the

operations

group over the

audit

group. Remember, these relationships are used by Ory to check permissions when a user tries to perform an action. The exact implications of these relationships can vary depending on the specific rules and permission models you've defined in your system. For more information on how to define relationships and permissions in Ory, you can refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/keto/modeling/create-permission-model#define-relationships-in-the-opl).

The line

Group:audit#parents@(Group:operations)

establishes a relationship where the

operations

group is a parent of the

audit

group. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that the

audit

group will inherit permissions from the

operations

group or the

medicine

service. Inheritance of permissions in Ory is not implicitly defined by parent-child relationships. Instead, it depends on the specific rules and permission models you've defined in your system. If you've set up your permission model to allow for inheritance, then the

audit

group could potentially inherit permissions from the

operations

group. As for the

medicine

service, the

audit

group would only have permissions for this service if you've explicitly defined a relationship that grants these permissions. The provided policy does not establish such a relationship. For more information on how to define relationships and permissions in Ory, you can refer to the [Ory documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/keto/modeling/create-permission-model#define-relationships-in-the-opl).
