- Definitions: *Resource Registration Agreement* - A contract between the Resource Server Operator and the resource subject or authorized agent of the resource subject that defines a resource pertaining to the resource subject, including available and supported scopes, and delegates some control over that resource to an Authorization Server. The Resource Registration Agreement establishes Phase 1 of the UMA Protocol at a time when neither the Client nor the Requesting Party are known to either the RS / RSO or the AS / ASO. As such, this is equivalent to a typical healthcare ROI form if the ROI form were to *specify an agent for the subject instead of the client* for for the purpose of authorized access to the resource. *Authorization Server Endpoint* - The URI and associated .well_known endpoints of a standards-based authorization server acting as the agent of the resource subject during UMA Phase 2. Under this Resource Registration Agreement, the RSO agrees to consider a token signed by the AS as presented by the RqP / Client. The RS may either accept the token or it can notify the AS that the token was not accepted or modified in scope. *Resource Subject Signature and Date* - The individual who's PII is accessed via the resource. This individual could be any age and should not need to be able to read or write or use technology. *Authorized Agent Name, Signature and Date* - The individual that the RSO recognizes as an authorized agent of the resource subject in cases where the resource subject is unable to sign for herself. The basis of this recognition is completely out of band from UMA. - Is this UMA? In my subject-centered vision of UMA, the RS has no visibility into whether the Resource Subject or the Authorized Agent or anyone else is in control of the Authorization Server Endpoint. In Phase 2 or 3 of UMA, the RS can choose to take attributes of the Client and RqP into consideration along with the Token issues by the AS or the RS can accept the token as is. If the RS changes the intent of the token, either more or fewer privileges, then the RS must notify the AS of the change. It may be that my subject-centered vision of UMA is not actually UMA. I don't know. If it's not, then we should try to give it a name because all I'm talking about is the subject's right to specify an agent by executing a Resource Registration Agreement - period.
