# Identity Management

## Users

Before using any of the Britive features, you need to onboard users in Britive. The users can be internal Britive users and/or external users fetched from identity providers. For more information, see [Users](/v1/docs/users).

## Service Identities

Service identities are non-human identities used for non-interactive use cases like automation, scripting, etc. Service identities use token-based authentication. You need to create a token for a service identity with a validity date and save it.

For more information about service identities, see [Service Identities](/v1/docs/service-identities).

## AI Identities

AI identities are non-human identities used for AI agents. AI identity supports custom attributes, owner relationships, and on-behalf-of configurations. For more information about AI identities, see [AI Identities](/v1/docs/ai-identities).

## Tags

Tags are a group of users, service identities, and AI identities. Tags are created to manage multiple users and service identities that have the same access to Britive. For more information about Tags, see [Tags](/v1/docs/tags).

## Identity Providers

An identity provider (IdP) is a service that stores and verifies user identity. The default identity provider for any user is **Britive**. For more information on creating identity providers, see [Identity Providers](/v1/docs/identity-providers).

## Identity Attributes

Identity attributes are used for mapping the attributes fetched from IdP to Britive. For more information, see [Identity Attributes](/v1/docs/identity-attributes).

## Tag Attributes

Tag attributes are used for mapping the attributes fetched from IdP to Britive. For more information, see [Tag Attributes](/v1/docs/tag-attributes).
