    public final class AttestationNote extends GeneratedMessage implements AttestationNoteOrBuilder

Note kind that represents a logical attestation "role" or "authority". For
example, an organization might have one `Authority` for "QA" and one for
"build". This note is intended to act strictly as a grouping mechanism for
the attached occurrences (Attestations). This grouping mechanism also
provides a security boundary, since IAM ACLs gate the ability for a principle
to attach an occurrence to a given note. It also provides a single point of
lookup to find all attached attestation occurrences, even if they don't all
live in the same project.
