Default [Social Engineering] Granting / sharing Social Traits? (Non-supernatural)

Greetings, all!

I've been wondering: what would be a reasonable build for being able to grant (temporarily and permanently) social traits. Not in the supernatural Affliction / Area Effect / Affects Others way, but in a bureaucratic way.

Stuff like a King being able to grant Knighthood more-or-less freely, a general on the board dispensing Military Rank promotions and demotions, a diplomat with the right of assigning diplomatic courier status (and thus providing a limited immunity), a Black Ops Company or Conspiracy X Administrator who may designate people for Zeroing, Big Bad Boss whose word is good enough to make the local underworld act as a Patron to the target for a while etc.

Thanks in advance!
