[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss Identity] - 3 use cases for the IDM layer

[anil.saldhana@jboss.com]

These are briefly the 3 use cases that I had in mind when we embarked on the design of the IDM component.

1) Corporate Environment.
There is a HQ. All the employees are stored in the model here with the basic global attributes/policies etc.  Now in individual offices such as Chicago, Boston etc, the employees have local attributes/entitlements pertaining to that office. They can inherit the global attributes from the HQ (the local office has an "extends" relationship with the HQ).  Each time, an employee visits a local office, he gets temporary permissions or a pseudonym in that local office.

2) University Environment

All the students of the university have basic permissions/attributes at the univ level. Then individually they have roles/permissions at the department level.

3) Government Environment

There is a federal government. All federal employees have basic roles/attributes etc.  In individual agencies, they have their own roles/attributes etc.  Between agencies, there can be a trust relationship that allows employees to perform actions (maybe under a pseudonym).
