  AUTHN	Authenticator	A person in the role of verifier who attests to the accuracy of an act, but who does not have privileges to legally authenticate information content. An example would be a resident physician who sees a patient and dictates a note, then later signs it. The resident's signature constitutes an authentication.

  ASSIGNED	Assigned Entity	An agent role in which the agent is an Entity acting in the employ of an organization. The focus is on functional role on behalf of the organization, unlike the Employee role where the focus is on the 'Human Resources' relationship between the employee and the organization.
  CLAIMANT	Claimant	A party that makes a claim for coverage under a policy.
