According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which is stored machine-readable instructions that when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to cause a graphical user interface to be displayed, the graphical user interface including graphical icons of a plurality of authentication types available for assignment to users and a graphical icon of a first user. The instructions may also cause the processor to detect a movement of a graphical icon of a first authentication type from a first location to a second location in the graphical user interface, the second location corresponding to the graphical icon of the first user and based on the detected movement, assign the first authentication type to the first user.

Assignment of authentication types using graphical icons

An account provisioning manager is disclosed. A placeholder account is generated with a primary work set attribute and a plurality of enhanced work set attributes. Initially, the primary work set attribute is populated with data to convert the placeholder account into an onboarded operating account. Subsequently, the plurality of enhanced work set attributes are populated via data propagation into the onboarded operating account, wherein an enhanced work set attribute of the plurality of enhanced work set attributes is selectively populated in response to a trigger for the onboarded operating account.

According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a computer readable medium on which is stored machine readable instructions that may cause the processor to determine a call duration threshold assigned to an entity, in which a phone number may be associated with the entity. The processor may also track durations of one or more calls placed to the phone number, determine whether the tracked durations of the one or more calls placed to the phone number meet or exceed the call duration threshold, and based on a determination that the tracked durations meet or exceed the call duration threshold, throttle placement of an additional call to the phone number.

Throttling based on phone call durations

Methods, systems, and apparatuses in a computing device enable user access to a resource. The method includes receiving, from a user, a request for access to a resource; accessing an authentication flow for granting access to the resource; obtaining first claims for a user from a first claims provider in the authentication flow; determining a second claims provider in the authentication flow, the second claims provider having a trust relationship with the claims facilitator; directing the user to the second claims provider; receiving second claims for the user from the second claims provider; and enabling the user to access the resource in response to at least the received first and second claims.
