Abstract

An identity management system manages identity profiles that store information about various entities. A localized access feature for an identity management system allows for a set of identity profiles to be grouped together in order to define a locale. Users outside the locale can be restricted from accessing identity profiles inside the locale. Alternatively, users outside the locale can be restricted from accessing certain attributes of identity profiles inside the locale.
