And so we come to number 3. eduID as an account.
In Australia, in the public space, we have three levels of government offering their accounts.
- At the National level, we have the myGov platform.
- At the State level each has their version.
- At the Local level, each council has their own registration.

We should be clear. When one talks about an account, on a network, they are usually talking about three levels of security (or Access) to a range of online services, in a particular sector.
