Explanation

Attributes such as a person's name, age, location, job title, and even characteristics such as height or hair color, may all be associated with their identity. None of these describe biometric factors used for authentication. Identity factors are something you know, are or have. Account permissions determine what an authenticated person (a user) can do, and not attributes related to the user's identity.
