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.

“In today’s world parents find themselves at the mercy of a society which imposes pressures and priorities that allow neither time nor place for meaningful activities and relations between children and adults, which downgrade the role of parents and the functions of parenthood, and which prevent the parent from doing things he wants to do as a guide, friend, and companion to his children.”
