Is it possible to have integration with the Rules module? What I have in mind is to give permissions to specific users with a rule after an event occurs.
Event: A student creates a node.
Action: The student's supervisor is granted access to the node.
Event: A user creates a node.
Action: Other users which are friends with the creator (flag friend module) are granted access to the node.
Event: Employee creates a request for his/her manager.
Action: Only the manager assigned as the superior of the employee shall have access to the request.
Event: An editor grants a reviewer access to unpublished content.
Action: An e-mail is sent to the reviewer telling him that he now has access.
Event: There is a feature that allows a user to request to be added to the ACL for a node.
Action: An administrator approves the request. This triggers a rule that the user is granted access, and an email is sent to the user informing him that he is granted access.
Closed: won't fix

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
Nobody has stepped forwards to review this for nearly five years, and there don't seem to be much interest.For Drupal 9 and later, the contributed Rules project, seems to lack traction.
I am sorry, but I've decided to not move forwards with this feature request.
