Identity Access Management (IAM)

Summary

Identity Access Management (IAM) refers to the processes and technologies that manage users' access and permissions to resources in a web3 environment.

Detailed Description

IAM includes policies and technologies that ensure the right individuals have access to the right resources at the right time. This is especially important in web3, where decentralized systems may require unique approaches to identities and access rights. IAM encompasses authentication processes (verifying user identities) and authorization mechanisms (granting users permissions for resources) specific to blockchain technologies and decentralized applications.
