I searched through the comments and was surprised no one had mentioned this:

Look at the evolution of how AWS has changed their services.

I see your HN account was created in 2021. If you haven't been watching this space for a long period of time (6-10+ years), go back and watch the AWS re:Invent keynotes.

You'll notice a trend of starting out with a very simple IAM and then evolving into vastly more complex mechanisms of authentication, authorization, auditing, accounting, network policy, and representation of multi-tiered organizational hierarchies between all of these systems.

This will give you an idea of what the MVP looks like, but also allow you to plan for what WILL be requested in the future (even if it's a stupid idea). Tragically, the briefest way I can summarize this is to say: "give them a Rube Goldberg machine so they can take Conway's Law and run with it."

context: I've worked exclusively on the intersection of FL/OSS and "Enterprise" software for almost 20 years.
