+title: Manage obligations
+command:
+  name: obligations
+---
+
+Commands to manage obligations within the platform.
+
+Obligations are requirements that should be fulfilled by a Subject or Environment requesting access to Resource data. Obligations
+are distinct from Entitlements because they are a post-entitlement decision.
+
+For example, if a Subject user is entitled through a Subject Mapping to access data that is considered confidential intellectual
+property, an obligation can be utilized to ensure the access path is through a PEP or flow that supports watermarking to enhance
+security of the data post-decryption. It is a precondition of an obligation that a Subject requesting access must already be entitled.
+
+Obligations are represented as platform attributes. They can be either added to TDFs directly, or derived via mapping.
+
+**Example:**
+
+As a platform admin, Alice already has the hierarchical attribute `https://namespace.io/attr/card_suits` with high-to-low values `ace, king, queen, jack`
+that are successfully entitled to various Subject users at each intended level of access.
+
+Alice wants to ensure data of the hierarchical attribute `https://namespace.io/attr/card_suits/value/queen`
+is accessible to Subjects that are entitled to Queen or King data, but Alice wants an additional protection of `watermarking` when
+the TDF'd data is decrypted.
+
+To add a `watermarking` assurance when a PEP handles decrypted TDF data a `digital rights management` , she can utilize obligations.
+
+**Option 1: Derived obligations**
+
+To dynamically tie all TDF data of that attribute value to this new obligation to watermark, she will create an obligation
+mapped in platform policy to the `https://namespace.io/attr/card_suits/value/queen` attribute value:
+
+`policy obligations create --name drm --value watermarking`
+
+From this point forward, any time an access request is made on a TDF containing the `/attr/card_suits/value/queen` attribute value, the obligation
+will be derived and considered in the decision.
+
+The same obligation can also be assigned multiple attribute values when derived, so `--attr` can take multiple attribute value IDs, and the
+`assign` and `remove` subcommands exist on `obligations` as well to assign attribute values to already-created obligations.
+
+**Option 2: TDF-only obligations**
+
+To add this obligation to any TDF data without permanently associating every TDF containing an attribute value to the obligation (see derived above),
+Alice can create the obligation without associating it to an attribute value:
+
+`policy obligations create --name drm --value watermarking`
+
+Without the derived assocation, the obligation can be added on TDF encrypt as any other attribute FQN. There is nothing stopping a PEP or admin from utilizing obligations in both manners in tandem as appropriate.
+
+**Evaluation: Fulfillment Conditions**
+
+In either scenario above, resolution of obligation satisfaction is similar to an `anyOf` rule on an attribute definition. If the obligation for `drm` contains
+several values, and only one of them is `watermark`, a PEP or environmental entity that successfully meets the admin-defined obligation fulfillment conditions
+for specifically that obligation or any of the other child values of the `drm` obligation parent for the data (derived via attributes or on the TDF)
+would result in a permitted access decision.
+
+The fulfillment conditions of an obligation can be thought of as loosely similar to Condition Sets within Subject Mappings that drive entitlements.
+
+To allow access to data with obligations (derived by assignment to attribute values or directly added to a TDF), an admin must define the conditions
+an entity must meet as provided by the Entity Resolution Service (ERS) or OIDC token claims if running the platform without an ERS.
+
+For example, if `drm:watermark` is a required obligation contextualizing a TDF access decision, a user must first be entitled to the data attributes via subject mappings,
+but they must also meet the conditions that they're attempting to access through `Some_Cool_PEP`, which is known to the admin to support watermarking
+as a feature and respect it as an obligation on decrypt. The admin should define through the `fulfillments` subcommand the conditions where the obligation
+is fulfilled. In plain English, that would be: `if a user's access token indicates they are accessing through Some_Cool_PEP, the obligation has been fulfilled`.
+
+TODO: fulfillment conditions instruction here that comes from protos
+
+As you can see in the example above, the user's entity chain indicated they came through `Some_Cool_PEP` and therefore they were granted access alongside the obligation
+for `Some_Cool_PEP` to receive in response and drive the watermarking behavior.
