ICAM, Privileged Access, MFA, and Non-Claims

Identity, credential, and access management

Latticra records identity and access-management requirements before hosted services, remote access, privileged operator access, SSO/federation, MFA, or identity-security claims can promote. It does not implement an identity provider, credential store, account database, remote login, or authorization enforcement.

Current Rule

Identity metadata is not access authority.

The baseline records ICAM vocabulary and required evidence for human, service, and machine identities. It keeps all hosted administration, remote access, privileged session, SSO, MFA, and identity-security language blocked until inventories, role mappings, lifecycle rules, credential handling, logging, monitoring, and exception ownership exist.

01

Identity inventory

Human, local, service, machine, and privileged-role inventories must be visible before access-management claims can change.

02

Privileged MFA

Privileged and remote access need phishing-resistant MFA planning, exception records, session lifetime, and reauthentication rules.

03

Credential lifecycle

Account lifecycle, credential storage, rotation, recovery, reuse prevention, default-credential denial, and help-desk verification must be recorded.

04

Logging and exceptions

Identity event logging, privileged behavior review, authorization trust relationships, exception owners, and expiration dates are required.

Current Snapshot

The baseline is present, but identity authority is still zero.

These fields are requirements and non-claims. They do not indicate a live identity provider, remote login path, privileged session, hosted administration surface, or credential store.

Promotion Gate

No hosted or privileged access wording can promote without the ICAM gate.

Identity and access claims touch high-risk account, credential, and authority boundaries. Future work must show who the identities are, what they can do, how they authenticate, how credentials are handled, and how exceptions expire before access wording can change.

Present now

Baseline record, status record, guard script, high-assurance allocation, zero-trust context, supply-chain context, security policy alignment, and metadata-only Latticra identity/access posture.

Required before promotion

Operator identity source, human/local/service/machine identity inventory, privileged role inventory, role-to-effect mapping, least-privilege review, phishing-resistant MFA path, MFA exceptions, break-glass account and monitoring, session lifetime and reauth, credential storage and rotation, credential recovery, help-desk verification, joiner/mover/leaver process, identity event logging, privileged behavior review, trust-relationship review, exception owner, exception expiration, and operator-visible non-claims.

Denied now

Production identity provider, remote access, privileged operator access, service-account runtime authority, hosted admin console, password-only privileged access, default credentials, shared admin accounts, production credential storage, identity-security claims, SSO claims, MFA claims, and hosted service claims.

Latticra Boundary

Current identity and access records are metadata-only.

Latticra can name future identity and access requirements, but the current system does not authenticate users, authorize effects, store credentials, create accounts, or open remote sessions.

Metadata

Operator identity

Operator identity source and context can be recorded as requirements, not as login or proofing behavior.

Metadata

Access policy

Access policy and role-to-effect mapping remain planning records without enforcement authority.

Closed

Authorization enforcement

No account database, credential store, authorization engine, SSO provider, or MFA provider is added.

Closed

Remote or privileged sessions

No remote login, hosted administration surface, privileged session, or identity runtime authority is granted.

Local Commands

Validate the ICAM records without enabling access behavior.

These guards check records and public alignment. They do not provision accounts, store credentials, authenticate users, federate SSO, grant privileged access, or enable hosted services.
