Managed Identity
Managed identity is the trust layer that decides who can read or mutate persona-aware state on behalf of a user.
What External Developers Need
If you are building a Level 2 layer around Prism and Mosaic, you still need a user-scoped identity model even if you are not exposing a full OAuth product on day one. Persona services should never be treated like anonymous stateless search.
- User auth should gate access to sentiments, onboarding, and window mutation
- Service auth is useful for backend workflows and operational tooling
- Scoped delegation becomes important if third parties will act on behalf of a user
How To Think About It
If this surface expands into a formal OAuth offering, its job is to let trusted third parties act against a user's taste state without leaking that state broadly. In other words: scoped, auditable delegation into Level 2 services.
Why This Page Is Light
This page stays light because identity architecture is mostly your application concern rather than a direct Prism or Mosaic feature. The important point is that Level 2 persona state needs explicit, auditable access control from the start.
