Account changes/management: Over the course of time, CSC might subscribe for other Cloud services or resources; such an activity requires consistent adjustment in the CSC’s account information (Gopalakrishnan 2009;Meier et al. 2009; Slone 2004). For instance, if CSC’s title or role is changed from Assistant Manager to Manager then the identity management system is required to change the account details accordingly and timely. Other reasons of account modification include change in access privileges or attribute values. Thus, Cloud identity management system is required to accommodate all the changes to CSC account across all the systems in a consistent and synchronized manner. It helps avoid any potential conflicts or security breaches such as unauthorized or illegal access to Cloud resources.
