Identity Modernization Specification

Cross-adapter contract for identity modernization

The identity domain specification defines the substrate contract for modernizing identity without absorbing vendor idiosyncrasies into the authoritative source.

Contract requirements

  • Dynamic groups are defined by rules over directory attributes.
  • Administrative units and scoped roles replace traditional organizational-unit-based delegation.
  • Access is computed from attributes, not assigned by hand.
  • The attribute-to-access rule set is itself the audit evidence.

Integration shape

  • Attribute writes for synced users are directory-mastered; the directory-sync interval is the provisioning floor.
  • Device attributes are cloud-mastered and writable through the cloud API.
  • Downstream systems reference or synchronize to the authoritative origin; they do not maintain independent copies.

Control mapping

The identity domain closes controls related to account management, access enforcement, and continuous monitoring by making access a computed, regenerable property of the authoritative attribute source.

Cleaned extraction for project use. No internal branding or document identifiers.
