UA-1000 User Applications
User Applications enable users to perform functions and exploit features that are available on user-facing hardware and peripherals; this in contrast to community of interest (COI) services, which are developed to support the same types of users with domain- or operational function-specific capabilities that are installed as back-end capabilities and therefore, accessible via network connections and storage. User Applications represent a collection of user-facing communications and information systems (CIS) capabilities, focused on the performance of singular or multiple related tasks through the provision of functionally by specifically designed computer software components. They provide the logical interface between human and automated activities, and they can be executed on user equipment. In the context of the C3 Taxonomy, User Applications are defined just up to a level of detail enough to describe what they need to do in order to manage data ("process information products") and to present information to the human and computer actors in the enterprise ("support business processes"). User applications change over time to reflect changes in their supported business processes and independently of the evolution of technology.

Identities in the repository are defined by a set of attributes: • unique, global identifier (GUID) assigned when identity is created, • core identity data: last and first name, date of birth, telephone number, etc., • credentials: digital certificates, biometrics data etc., • entitlement related data: role, duties, location, qualifications, etc. The repository allows to define a profile (set of attributes) for each type of identity (user, device, service, application, etc.). The repository doesn't and in most cases shouldn't be the original source and storage for identity information. Instead it relies on external authoritative identity data sources to provide identity attributes. Different attributes can be provided by different sources. The repository provides a mapping between logical enterprise level identity attributes and the source attributes stored in authoritative data sources and as a result builds coherent enterprise identity representation based on most trusted sources of identity information. The repository is also a base for provisioning of the accounts in the systems entities require an access to. In this case such accounts are treated as identities in systems-specific contexts.

It involves provisioning of an identity in enterprise wide Identity Repository, but also accounts in the systems entity needs an access to. All provisioned system-specific identities (accounts) are linked to unique identity in Identity Repository. An identities may need to be updated or even removed when the status or identity attributes in identity data sources are changed (e.g. entity is assigned a new role). Usually system specific identities (accounts) are deleted when an enterprise identity is de-provisioned. The Identity Provisioning Applications enable an automation of these processes through the definition and execution of custom workflows for each type of identities (users, devices, services, etc.) and for each action performed on the identity entry (enrollment, update, suspension, de-provisioning, etc.).

Privilege management supports updates to privileges over time as an entity's access needs change. Privileges, when combined with access control policies and resource access rules, are used to make intelligent access control (authorization) decisions. The authorization decision relies on the presence or absence of one or more specific entitlement attributes. The most common entitlement attributes include: employer details, job duties, locations, special qualifications, certifications. Most often, collections of certain entitlement attributes are combined to develop access roles. Individuals in a particular role share similar information needs and as a result they likely share similar entitlement attributes. Use of roles or similar attribute groupings significantly reduces the complexity involved in managing user privileges.
- UA-1008 Access Policies Management Applications
