Identity governance

Identification Principle

A principle stating that humans, machines, and services must all be identifiable and subject to authorization.

Definition

The Identification Principle requires all access subjects to be clearly represented as identities. Human users, machines, services, and accounts must be known, distinguishable, and tied to an authorization process. This principle eliminates unmanaged access paths and supports end-to-end accountability.

The Ariovis perspective

Ariovis treats the person or service, its context and its responsibilities as the starting point. Accounts and permissions are technical consequences that must remain tied to a governed identity.

These concepts matter most inside a real project.
