# isEnabled

Returns a Boolean value indicating whether the identity is allowed to authenticate.

```
var isEnabled: Bool { get }
```

## Return Value

`TRUE` if the identity can authenticate; otherwise, `FALSE`.

## Discussion

If the identity does not have authentication credentials (a password or certificate), it is not able to log in. However, an identity with authentication credentials does not ensure that it is enabled. Any identity can be disabled.
