  description: 'Beyond authentication, the Qualia API gates every call behind capability
    gates — grants organized around an objective (placing orders, messaging, documents,
    reporting) that Qualia enables on a per-organization basis. Granular controls grant
    or revoke API access to owned or partner organizations to retrieve data on behalf
    of the end consumer, so a valid credential does not imply access to every operation.'
  provisioning: Contact Qualia to have capability gates enabled on your organization.
