Use Cases

✤ Focus on inter-federation contexts, with collaborators across federations. No shared user identifiers required. Less strict trust model. Orthogonal to Identity Federations, makes use of federated authentication but does not require it.

✤ 2) Invitation in web-based collaboration service

✤ 3) E-mail list server as a group consumer
