Advanced Identity Features

Identity in Polymesh extends beyond basic concepts with powerful features designed for enterprise-grade security, flexibility, and control. This section covers advanced identity mechanisms that enable sophisticated access control, delegation, and organizational structures.

Key Topics​

  • Secondary Keys - Delegate specific permissions to different keys while maintaining granular control
  • Multisigs - Create multi-signature structures requiring approval from multiple parties
  • Authorizations - Manage permission requests between identities and keys
  • Child Identities - Create subsidiary DIDs derived from a parent identity
  • Subsidized Accounts - Configure accounts where one entity pays transaction fees for another

These features work together to provide comprehensive identity management capabilities for institutional use cases while maintaining regulatory compliance.
