I think they mean use both - identity in place of login/authenticate and access in place of auth



Yeah, but access to me feels like access to records. Not necessarily permissions to do certain actions (in general or to certain records)

Iirc, Java or J2EE used “Principal”, which I found super confusing


Principal is Identity not access.
