Techniques to manage presence information based on routing rules are described. An apparatus may comprise a presence management component operative to manage presence information for a presentity. The presence management component comprises a presence interface module operative to receive a routing rule for a communication event for a presentity node used by a presentity. The presence management component also comprises a presence control module communicatively coupled to the presence interface module, the presence control module operative to determine presence state information based on the routing rule. The presence management component further comprises a presence publish module communicatively coupled to the presence control module, the presence publish module operative to publish the presence state information to multiple watcher nodes. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques for identity management for permissions are described. According to various embodiments, a user establishes a communication relationship with another user, referred to herein as a 'contact.' According to various embodiments, the contact is associated with multiple identities. Accordingly, embodiments discussed herein enable a primary identity to be specified such that permissions for the primary identity are enforced for interactions with the contact. Further, techniques discussed herein enable a primary identity to be updated based on a change in identity state of a contact.

Identities and permissions

Architecture for gathering and presentation to a remote user (watcher) of presence, preferences, and capabilities information of a local user (publisher). An extensible presence document is employed, as transmitted by the publisher, that contains specific information about the capabilities of the publisher endpoint and preferences that are for the publisher overall. The document is aggregated, and the aggregated capabilities are transmitted to watchers. The watchers render this information in a user experience.
