Description

Require nonempty seasonCode and return consentActive AND exact membership in approvedSeasons.

Cultural and community records can carry access, attribution, quotation, and publication permissions. Preserving a supplied label does not create permission or override community protocols, source conditions, or an individual's stated preferences.

Require nonempty seasonCode and return consentActive AND exact membership in approvedSeasons.

When to use this tool

Use Community Consent Season Access Flag when you need to record a supplied attribution or access statement without expanding its scope.

Limitations and assumptions

  • This checks recorded conditions only; season timing, current informed consent, community protocols, and actual access authorization require separate verification.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Confirm the original permission, community protocol, and intended use with the responsible people before sharing material.
