What can Trusted Agents not authorize?

Trusted Agents have a specific role within the Army Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) framework that involves managing and facilitating certain aspects of access and identity verification. However, there are limitations to their authority, which is crucial to understand in order to maintain the integrity and security of the PKI system.

Trusted Agents are unable to authorize new user access, which means they cannot independently grant new users entry into the system. This type of authorization typically requires higher-level clearance and is often managed by designated authorities or the system administrators to prevent potential security breaches associated with unauthorized access.

Additionally, Trusted Agents cannot reissue tokens. Token reissuance often involves complex security considerations, including verifying the identity and credentials of the user seeking the reissue. This responsibility is generally reserved for authorized personnel within the PKI hierarchy who have the appropriate oversight and control capabilities.

Moreover, Trusted Agents do not have the authority to grant temporary access permissions. This type of access involves changes to user privileges and is typically governed by stringent policies to ensure that temporary authorizations do not lead to prolonged access beyond what is necessary, thereby maintaining a secure operating environment.

Therefore, when considering the roles and limitations of Trusted Agents, it is clear that their authorization capabilities do not extend to new user access, token re
