I am looking through a few notes… and noticed that sometimes an identity is of type device / service… there is also user… but I have not seen that used yet.

So… I thought to ask if this changes any specific functionality… or if its more a way to label the different types of identities.

Thanks  
Scott

the ‘type’ of identity is informational only. no functionality changes
