# Claim Concept
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The claim concept serves as an abstraction for allocating a resource in FabAccess. Its primary purpose is to manage the methods by which users gain access to a resource and share that access among themselves.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Claims
|
||
|
|
A "claim" in FabAccess represents the granted access to a resource.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The flexibility of claims enables effective support for various scenarios of resource access. For instance, multiple users can simultaneously claim access to a resource, which is particularly advantageous in collaborative working environments. Additionally, the ability to register in a queue with an interest provides a practical solution for situations where resource availability is limited, and users must wait to access it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Another significant aspect of claims is their capability to transfer or lend resources between users. These functionalities facilitate a flexible utilization of resources and foster collaboration among users. For example, a user who no longer requires a resource can transfer it to another user in need, or an instructor can temporarily grant access to a resource to a trainee to acquire specific skills.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Interest
|
||
|
|
An integral part of the claim concept is "interest," which represents reservations that can be either time-based or queue-based. These interests allow users to secure future access to a resource, either based on a predefined time or in the order of entry into the queue.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With an interest, the user signals their interest in a particular resource to the system. At the next opportunity, the user either receives a claim to the resource or has the option to upgrade their interest to a claim. This flexibility enables users to adapt to their needs and respond to changes in resource availability.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Notify
|
||
|
|
The final element of the claim concept is the "notify." Through the notify, users can view the status of a resource and receive notifications about changes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The notify allows users to retrieve the current state of a resource and respond to changes as needed. This provides an essential means of monitoring resource status and reacting promptly to relevant events.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By registering for notifications of state changes, users can effectively interact with resources and ensure they are informed about important developments at all times.
