semantic.principal_variant_unknown

Principal variant is not user or service.

Area 8, Sign-in and identity; not declinable; the next step is usually the agent's.

A role is a field of the user's entity, which policy reads (area 9), never a kind of caller:

example
principal {    user: {        subject: Member.handle    }    admin: {        subject: Member.handle    }}type Handle = Text {    max_length: 40}entity Member {    id: Uuid    handle: Handle {        unique: true    }}

error admin isn't a kind of caller

--> main.jadpo:5:5

  |5 |     admin: {  |     ^^^^^ not `user` or `service`
reason
A principal declares user:, a person, and service:, another system; a role or a tenant is a field of the user's entity, which policy reads (area 9).
next
Remove admin (agent)
