Abstract

The TechVision Research Reference Architecture for IAM is a master template that identifies the IAM capabilities (rather than technologies) that can be improved or enabled, allowing business stakeholders and technical architects to achieve a common language for IAM functions, which can then be refined over time. ­­­ Those capabilities are described at the highest level as:

• Interact – how end-users and application developers interact with the IAM platform.

• Access – the rules that define the roles, rights, and obligations of any actor wishing to access enterprise assets.

• Change – the capability to define and manage the relationships between the user/ application developer and the enterprise assets.

• Manage – the capabilities required to manage and upgrade the IAM solution itself.

• Measure – the capabilities required to audit and improve IAM activities.

• Store – the capabilities required to share identity information and relationships between the components of the IAM solution.
