Human Identity

A human identity is the digital representation of a person, such as an employee, contractor, partner, supplier, customer or guest.

A human identity is the digital representation of a person, such as an employee, contractor, partner, supplier, customer or guest. It is usually linked to authoritative biographical, affiliation and lifecycle attributes and may correlate to multiple accounts.
