Say for example I would like to say that my system supports granting access credentials to both people and systems; can I express that in a single term?

2You can use “external actors” or maybe just actors (but I think external actors is better)– JimCommented Apr 20, 2020 at 21:11

"Actors" is the first thing that comes to mind here. +1 @Jim.– JosCommented Apr 20, 2020 at 21:33

1I would prefer "entities" to "actors".– Hot LicksCommented Apr 20, 2020 at 22:29

1There are single words you could use in place of that, like "actors", "entities", "applicants", but none will be as clear or specific as the original. I prefer clarity over brevity in most situations.– ralph.mCommented Apr 20, 2020 at 23:45

As opposed to granting access credentials to what? Unless there is a different group of things that it does not support (not people or systems—and I don't know what that would be—dogs?), you can just say "my system supports [the] granting [of] access credentials." There is no need to enumerate a list unless you also discuss something that doesn't belong.– Jason BassfordCommented Apr 21, 2020 at 19:17
