Abstract

An access management account that includes an access identifier may be used to control access to telecommunications services or applications. An access identifier is designated for obtaining access to multiple telecommunications services or applications, in which the multiple telecommunications services or applications are accessible to a user through multiple user accounts that are protected by account credentials. Once the access credential is designated, the access credential may be used to determine whether access to the one or more telecommunications services or applications is to be granted instead of using the account credentials of the multiple user accounts.
