Customers, citizens, employees, and partners all demand dynamic access controls in their online experiences.  Developed via an open and transparent standards-based approach, UMA’s flexibility toward users and enterprise authorization makes it a key business innovation enabler for user-managed, fine-grained data sharing and privacy use cases.
