11.3 Admin Approval & Privileged Operations

Problem

Admin access is often:

• Shared across teams

• Protected by static credentials

• Hard to audit

PTERI Approach

• Each admin is a wallet

• Permissions are scoped

• Actions require signed intent

This provides:

• Non-repudiation

• Clear audit trails

• No shared secrets

Admins are simply identities with higher authority, not exceptions.
