  props: {
    // context.admin
    isAdmin: (model) => Boolean(model.$context.admin),
    
    // !context.userId
    isGuest: (model) => !model.$context.userId,
    
    // !props.isGuest
    isAuthenticated: (model) => !model.$props.isGuest,
    
    // context.userId
    authId: (model) => model.$context.userId,
    
    // data.authorId
    authorId: (model) => model.$data.authorId,
    
    // props.authorId === props.authId
    isOwner: (model) => model.$props.authorId === model.$props.authId,
  },
  rules: {
    $default: {
      // read allowed by default
      read: (model) => true,
      
      // throws an error when read not allowed
      readFail: (model, key) => { throw new Error(`Cannot access '${key}'`); },
    },
    
    // use $default settings
    authorId: {},
    
    // read allowed only if `props.isAdmin`
    adminField: (model) => model.$props.isAdmin,
    
    // above is equivalent to:
    adminField: {
      read: (model) => model.$props.isAdmin,
    },
    
    // read allowed only if `props.isAuthenticated`
    authField: (model) => model.$props.isAuthenticated,

    // read allowed only if `props.isOwner`
    ownerField: (model) => model.$props.isOwner,
    
    notAllowedField: {
      read: (model) => false,
