This example scenario discusses about various requirements specific to consumer access management of an organization.
Let us assume Acme Inc. is a life insurance provider that provides individual and group insurance products to its customers. It has nationwide agents that sell and service insurance products. It also sells insurance products through the online portal. It uses SaaS services such as ServiceNow, Salesforce, DocuSign, and LexisNexis to provide services to its consumers and agents.
Acme Inc. serves the following two types of online users:
Consumer: A person who buys the insurance products. In this example, Carol is a consumer.

He needs privileges to access the information about commission details, view new products, view clients’ insurance information, and access to additional services such as a service ticket in ServiceNow.
