Interface Identity


public interface Identity

Represents a security identity, which can be a person or non-person entity that was previously authenticated.

An Identity plays an important role during the evaluation of policies as they represent the entity to which one or more permissions should be granted or not, providing additional information and attributes that can be relevant to the different access control methods involved during the evaluation of policies.
