What Is the Difference between the Terms Account, Identity, and User

The terms account and user are synonymous in meaning and will be collapsed into account long term. All actions which refer to user action will be renamed to refer to account action.

The term Identity responds more to the actual user (or human being) who owns multiple accounts on various systems. The identity action can be provisioned against a role to generate multiple accounts on multiple systems according to the role desired for the identity.
