Static authorization models create security risks because they rely on upfront role assignments that don't adapt to changing production contexts. Authorization logic becomes fragmented across applications, making it impossible to trace who can access what in real-time. Long-lived permissions accumulate silently as projects end and teams reorganize, while audit tools can only show intended policies rather than actual enforcement. Runtime authorization requires evaluating decisions at access time with current context, maintaining observable decision logs, and centralizing policy evaluation to prevent exceptions from becoming permanent.
