The Account service offers operations to manage a CollectionSpace account. To securely access the CollectionSpace services, an account for a user is required in the system. An account is associated with an identity. The identity could reside in the [CollectionSpace Identity Provider (CS IdP)] which is the default identity provider. It could also reside in a foreign identity provider, such as an institution's single sign-on (SSO) system (e.g. [CalNet|https://calnet.berkeley.edu/]), or an [OpenID provider|http://openid.net/get-an-openid/].{multi-excerpt} |
