[Intro] Request received. Manager approval: Not required. Role owner: Not found. Fallback rule: Applied. [Verse 1] The portal asks what work I do — I pick the closest label: true. “Platform support,” “temporary,” “cloud” — a grey box flips from soft to loud. The title reads across the screen: EXTERNAL MIGRATION, twenty-twenty-one. No expiry date. No named review. No limit on what it lets me do. [Pre-Chorus] I type into the onboarding thread — no one replies. The rules just spread. [Chorus] Here are all the permissions! Every gate is standing wide! Here are all the permissions! Test and prod, stacked side by side! Nobody checked, nobody signed — the system trusts you. Step inside! [Verse 2] Identity admin. Network lord. Key creator. Budget king. A warning, grey and half-erased: “Privileged roles should end each day.” The migration ended years ago — the experts left, the rights did not. I ask out loud, “Should I have this much?” Nobody human answers back. [Pre-Chorus] I send the question up the chain. It answers: “Business case: accepted.” [Chorus] Here are all the permissions! Every gate is standing wide! Here are all the permissions! Test and prod, stacked side by side! Nobody checked, nobody signed — the system trusts you. Step inside! [Breakdown] Read the secrets! Write the keys! Delete the lock that guards the keep! [Bridge] A right’s not a housewarming gift. A right can bring a mountain down. I felt the weight the second I got it — somebody should’ve stopped me cold. [Palm-Muted Riff Break] [Final Chorus] Here are all the permissions! Every gate is standing wide! Here are all the permissions! Test and prod, stacked side by side! Nobody checked, nobody signed — the system trusts you. Step inside! [Reprise] Here are all the permissions. No one chose them, one by one. The role outlived its purpose. The working day has just begun. [Outro] Session elevated. Global scope enabled. Deletion protection: Not configured. User: Jonas Weber. Expiration: None.
