The human mind needs these classification buckets as a starting point for intelligent discussion. Identity Management can be a very weighty topic and well-designed roles present a common frame of reference to bridge the technology to business gap. I would wager that someday soon roles will be seen as much of a unifying force for identity management as the tree of life was for Biology. Patrick Earl,

Thank you for the great practical metaphor for “why roles?”. The human mind needs these classification buckets as a starting point for intelligent discussion. Identity Management can be a very weighty topic and well-designed roles present a common frame of reference to bridge the technology to business gap.
