Identity platform
Identity as a shared platform service
Secure collaboration starts with knowing who is acting and what they are permitted to do. Identity is foundational — described here conceptually, without protocols or vendors.

Trust is earned through engineering — and designed into the platform.
Capabilities
What identity provides — conceptually
No protocols, vendors, or implementation specifics — only the role identity plays on the platform.
Authentication
Confirming that a person or system is who they claim to be before access is granted.
Authorization
Determining what an authenticated actor may do — aligned to role, duty, and policy.
Single sign-on readiness
Designed so institutions can connect familiar access experiences across products — without prescribing a specific identity vendor.
Shared platform service
Identity capabilities serve multiple products consistently instead of fragmenting into one-off access models.
Secure access management
Access is stewarded over time: granted, reviewed, and adjusted as responsibilities change.
Model
One identity service, many products
