Description

**Issue**
While you can remove rights from resources or add read rights using WAC, this is not possible using ActivityPub. The only way, read rights are granted is through `Create` or `Update` activities by adding the recipients to the WAC read list.

**Proposal**
We could add a custom `Authorize` activity that lists actors which to grant or remove certain rights to / from.
Since this is non-standard it might be good, to keep in touch with the AP community.
