Glossary

.. glossary::
token
A token is an opaque string that represents an authorization to access
cloud resources. Tokens may be revoked at any time and are valid for a
finite duration.
tenant
A tenant is a container used to group or isolate resources and/or
identity objects. Depending on the service operator, a tenant may map to
a customer, account, organization, or project.
user
A user is a digital representation of a person, system, or service who
consumes cloud services. Users have credentials and may be assigned
tokens; based on these credentials and tokens, the authentication
service validates that incoming requests are being made by the user who
claims to be making the request, and that the user has the right to
access the requested resources. Users may be directly assigned to a
particular tenant and behave as if they are contained within that
tenant.
