Classification: story; source kind: story; decision: approve; confidence: high; review status: needs-review.
Rationale: Ongoing space-level administration has explicit actor, outcome and criteria, distinct from creation-time privacy (0045), document grant/inheritance (0046), nonmember access requests (0041), and the collaborator handoff within creation (0043). Shared roles and invitation rules are candidate overlaps, not grounds to merge sources.
Review qualification: Uncertain identity/behavior/duplication remains a separate candidate; do not merge without review.
Canonical target (to be published after manifest): Proposed canonical target
