Many service providers (SPs) rely on externalized, attribute based access control (ABAC) to manage what end users can do. In research and academia, it is very common for an individual to have multiple relationships with an institution at the same time – any combination of student, employee, and alumni. A common way to reflect this for access control is to use the eduPerson ( https://refeds.org/eduperson) attribute called eduPersonScopedAffiliation.
Multilateral federation facilitates collaboration across multiple organizations around the world. InCommon, CAF, UK Federation and all eduGAIN federations utilize multilateral federation. It is a critical component to Identity and Access Management architecture in higher education and research. Azure AD does not support multilateral federation natively, but there are solutions available to fill the gap.

An Identity Registry is a system which registers and maintains information about entities of interest to the organization operating the registry, and to make this information available to other systems. This definition comes from the Identity Registries Team in the now-retired CIFER (Community Identity Framework for Education and Research) group organized by Internet2.
The concept of an Identity Registry is not new, though the language describing it tends to be unique to Higher Education.
In identity management, a System of Record is an authoritative source for data about user or other entity. At many higher education institutions, the System of Record is the starting point for creating a directory of users including students, staff, and other people associated with the institution.
