Define how a custom action is defined. about authzen HOT 1 OPEN

A simple "action" can either be an abstract reference by name, represented as a simple string - e.g. "GET", "READ", "DELETE".
Or it can be expressed as a complex structure, describing a transaction function with arbitrary parameters and values.
Example 1: Bank payout transaction with an amount and currency

subject = "bank customer A" , resource = "Bank Account 123"
Action = Payout-Transaction (amount = 500, currency = Eur, payee = "Bank Account 789") 

Example 2: set the quota of a resource to "500 Gigabytes"

subject = "user B" , resource = "users home folder"
Action = set-quota (value = 500, unit = "GB") 

The abstraction of an action could be defined as a "complex space described by attributes and/or bounding parameters".
