1. A case model system, comprising:
a storage device;
a processor coupled to the storage device and configured to:
obtain a case model definition for a case model based on user input, the case model definition defining a document permission model associated with a document, the document permission model comprising a hierarchy of document permission nodes defining document level hierarchical permissions, wherein a document level hierarchical permission of a document permission node defines an authorization permission to update a corresponding document portion of the document, and wherein the case model definition is stored in the storage device; and
process the case model definition to generate a data structure that embodies the case model in a format consumable by a case management system to instantiate a case instance based on the case model and set the document level hierarchical permissions on the respective document portions of the document.
