Usually "security" means two things:

- Authentication: Who are you, can you identify yourself and what are your roles/privileges?

- Authorization: An action/display requires a permission, do you have the right roles/privileges for that?

The authenticator does Authentication, the Identity component is responsible for Authorization.
