Identity
Arc identity support lets you enrich provider tokens with domain-specific user details, perform application-level authorization at ingress, and propagate a consistent identity payload to frontend clients.
Overview

Key capabilities:
- Enrich provider identity with domain-specific details
- Perform application-level authorization during ingress
- Return a single consolidated identity payload
- Reuse identity details across services and frontend clients
