identity management
Credential control systems
Identity management is the administration of user identities and access rights within digital systems.
Organizations use identity management to control who can access what resources, verify that users are who they claim to be, and track activity: The company's identity management system requires two-factor authentication.
The term also applies to how individuals control their personal information online—managing passwords, privacy settings, and digital footprints across platforms.
