Enabling use of credentials

A system comprising:

• at least one processor of a server system;
• and
• at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the server system to perform operations comprising:
• determining that a user has been authorized by a first credential-issuing organization;
• based on determining that the user has been authorized by the first credential-issuing organization, granting access to a user device of the user to use a first credential issued by the first credential-issuing organization for the user;
• accessing trust data indicating a trust relationship between the first credential-issuing organization and a second credential-issuing organization, the trust relationship indicating whether the user device should be granted access to use a second credential as a result of the user having been authorized by the first credential-issuing organization, wherein the second credential is different from the first credential and was issued by a second credential-issuing organization, the second credential-issuing organization being different from the first credential-issuing organization, the first credential-issuing organization and the second credential-issuing organization being third parties with respect to the server system;
• determining that the accessed trust data indicates that the user device should be granted access to use the second credential issued by the second credential-issuing organization based on the trust relationship between the first credential-issuing organization and the second credential-issuing organization;
• and
• in response to determining that the accessed trust data indicates that the user device should be granted access to use the second credential, granting access to the user device to use the second credential.

At least one computer-readable storage medium encoded with executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor in a server system, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

• determining that a user has been authorized by a first credential-issuing organization;
• based on determining that the user has been authorized by the first credential-issuing organization, granting access to a user device of the user to use a first credential issued by the first credential-issuing organization for the user;
• accessing trust data indicating a trust relationship between the first credential-issuing organization and a second credential-issuing organization, the trust relationship indicating whether the user device should be granted access to use a second credential as a result of the user having been authorized by the first credential-issuing organization, wherein the second credential is different from the first credential and was issued by a second credential-issuing organization, the second credential-issuing organization being different from the first credential-issuing organization, the first credential-issuing organization and the second credential-issuing organization being third parties with respect to the server system;
• determining that the accessed trust data indicates that the user device should be granted access to use the second credential issued by the second credential-issuing organization based on the trust relationship between the first credential-issuing organization and the second credential-issuing organization;
• and
• in response to determining that the accessed trust data indicates that the user device should be granted access to use the second credential, granting access to the user device to use the second credential.
