I understood John to say that "people in specific roles at Member
institutions would be granted specific privileges". (eg "the
Librarian at LSE would automagically be able to do/see X").
I think this is quite separate from the question of how privileges
are granted to other people. (e.g. external examiners, student
tutors/assessors, people collaborating on papers or research, people
who help on interview panels, etc.).
There is, of course, the question what LoA you require when these
external people access services....
