    User has a local FTP SERVICE to house his files. Access to his files is
    controled by access policy. According to that policy, the request
    
    User says "Access:File"
    
             will be granted as the user has access to his files.
    
    No, according to your use case, we have Job and FTPClient. So, we have
    two other desireable requests:
    
    Job says "Access:File"
    
    and
    
    FTPClient says "Access:File"
    
    Thses requests would normally not be granted by the current access policy
    on the FTP SERVER.  However, Due to the users "job" set up. Both these
    requests should be granted.
    
    Is that a correct interpretation of your use case 1?
