# 222 — An assignment is refused on the bus until the bus's machine is pushed
## What was observed
2026-10-04. A module was assigned to the laptop, and the laptop alone was pushed. The module's two
bundles arrived and the node's runtime launched both, and then the bus refused every one of the
module's subjects:
```
nats: permissions violation: Permissions Violation for Subscription to "mesh.mod.<module>.tool.<tool>.<node>"
```
The tools were unreachable until a later push that included the machine running the bus. Then the
runtime served them without a restart, because a new membership arrived and it re-subscribed.
## Why it matters beyond this instance
What an account may answer lives in the bus's user list, and the controller writes that list only
into the declaration of the machine that runs the bus. Assigning anything to any machine changes
that list, so `push <machine>` after `assign <machine> <module>`, which is what the controller itself
tells the operator to run, leaves the module running and unreachable, with nothing reporting a fault.
## Where to look
Whether a push to one machine should also send the bus's machine when the user list it would
compose differs from the one that machine holds. **How it is checked:** assign a module with tools
to a machine that does not run the bus, push only that machine, and its tools answer.
