# Active Identity Counts

Active identity counts gather information about identities that have completed one of the following actions successfully during a specified period of time:

* **Authentication**

  The identity has completed at least one authentication flow successfully.

* **Password check**

  The identity has completed at least one [Password Check](users/user-passwords/password-check.html) successfully.

This service uses authentication and password-evaluation user events to determine whether an identity is active within a specified sampling period.

## Assigning admin roles and permissions to this service

Admin role assignments determine access to PingOne APIs. When assigning admin roles to this service, refer to [PingOne Permissions by Service](reference/roles-and-permissions-in-pingone/permissions-by-service.html) for the service-specific permissions.

You can also choose to assign admin roles based on particular service resources. Refer to [PingOne Permissions by Resource](reference/roles-and-permissions-in-pingone/permissions-by-resource.html) when assigning admin roles per service resources.

Admin assignments to roles are set by:

* [Automatic assignment for some roles](roles/predefined-roles.html#automatic-role-assignment).

* [Group Role Assignments](group-role-assignments/group-role-assignments.html).

* [User Role Assignments](users/user-role-assignments.html).

Refer to [Roles Management](roles.html) for more information.
