Abstract
The disclosure relates to methods and nodes for mapping a subscription in a network (10) to a service user identity, wherein a communication device (12) accesses the network (10) using the subscription, and wherein the service user identity is used for accessing a service provided by the first network node (16). The method (30) comprises receiving (31), from the communication device (12) a request for a service, the request comprising an authenticated service user identity, providing (32), in response to the request, the communication device (12) access to the service, receiving (33), from the communication device (12), a message comprising a token identifying a mapping of the service user identity to the subscription, and verifying (34) that a service user identity obtained from the token corresponds to the service user identity used when providing access to the communication device (12).
