# Subscriber Creation & Identity Mapping

# Subscriber Creation & Identity Mapping

## Purpose

 Subscribers represent the operational endpoint identity consuming a service (credentials + network identifiers). Correct mapping ensures authentication success, accurate accounting, and consistent service state across systems.

## Identity Components

- **Authentication identity**: username/identifier used by AAA
- **Authorization mapping**: which service/plan/profile applies
- **Network identifiers**: MAC/VLAN/Circuit/Interface mapping where applicable
- **Status**: active/suspended/terminated aligned to lifecycle
 
## Workflow

1. Open Service → Create Subscriber
2. Assign identity/credentials per policy
3. Map subscriber to service entitlement
4. Validate uniqueness → Save
5. Perform post-save validation (AAA/provisioning readiness)
 
## Validation & Safety

- Credentials must be unique within the defined domain/policy scope.
- Ensure correct plan/profile mapping; wrong mapping causes speed/policy mismatches.
- Any production credential reset should be auditable and approved.
 
## Troubleshooting Signals

- Authentication fails → check identity mapping and subscriber status
- Session starts but wrong policy → check service profile mapping
- Usage not visible → check accounting correlation and identifiers
