📖What it means
The authority an agent has been given to act in its area — what it may do without asking. Acting beyond it is not initiative; it is a boundary crossed.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Realm of control
The mandate is what an agent may DO; realm of control is what it may act ON.
Not: Right
A mandate is an agent's operating authority; a right is constitutional.
