In contrast to its usual English meaning, identity in the context of the practice of identity management refers to the set of information that pertains to a person. This information includes identifiers, memberships, eligibility, roles, names, characteristics, etc. Some of this information may uniquely identify that person, even sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (PII), but much of this information is not.
