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:
“Adultery is the vice of equivocation.
It is not marriage but a mockery of it, a merging that mixes love and dread together like jackstraws. There is no understanding of contentment in adultery.... You belong to each other in what together you’ve made of a third identity that almost immediately cancels your own. There is a law in art that proves it. Two colors are proven complimentary only when forming that most desolate of all colors—neutral gray.”
—Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)
“Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Those things which now most engage the attention of men, as politics and the daily routine, are, it is true, vital functions of human society, but should be unconsciously performed, like the corresponding functions of the physical body.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
