Identity Management Functions
In the real-world context of engineering online systems, identity management can involve three basic functions:
- The pure identity function: Creation, management and deletion of identities without regard to access or entitlements;
- The user access (log-on) function: For example: a smart card and its associated data used by a customer to log on to a service or services (a traditional view);
- The service function: A system that delivers personalized, role-based, online, on-demand, multimedia (content), presence-based services to users and their devices.

Famous quotes containing the words identity, management and/or functions:
“The modern world needs people with a complex identity who are intellectually autonomous and prepared to cope with uncertainty; who are able to tolerate ambiguity and not be driven by fear into a rigid, single-solution approach to problems, who are rational, foresightful and who look for facts; who can draw inferences and can control their behavior in the light of foreseen consequences, who are altruistic and enjoy doing for others, and who understand social forces and trends.”
—Robert Havighurst (20th century)
“People have described me as a “management bishop” but I say to my critics, “Jesus was a management expert too.””
—George Carey (b. 1935)
“Mark the babe
Not long accustomed to this breathing world;
One that hath barely learned to shape a smile,
Though yet irrational of soul, to grasp
With tiny finger—to let fall a tear;
And, as the heavy cloud of sleep dissolves,
To stretch his limbs, bemocking, as might seem,
The outward functions of intelligent man.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
