Who are you, and what are you allowed to do? In digital systems, these questions are the domain of “Identity and Access Management (IAM).” Access management systems provide the mechanisms for deciding who is who, and evaluate and enforce decisions about who should get access to what. Part 2 of the introduction explores the big picture of access management through a historical perspective. You can expect a little advice, a lot of context, and an experience-based overview of what we do in access management and why our contributions matter.
