A data structure or access profile that contains information about a user (person, service or other entity) that provides a means to grant permissions to resources or services, apply scripts, assign profiles, and control what actions the user can perform and what they can access. Through an account, a set of credentials is created that uniquely identify and authenticate the user and that protects systems and resources from unauthorized access.

"Account" is used inconsistently when talking about "access", etc. We want the levels of access to have routine reviews, etc. E.g. 2.j. "review accounts" - however, we care about "access" not whether the "account" exists.

  1. Rewrite references within NSRs to consistently refer to authorization (access) and authentication.
  2. Clarify the concepts referenced (e.g. credentials, access, privileges, authn, authz)
