Access to resources of a company should be easy for employee, allowing efficient performing their duties, but also difficult for unauthorised person.

The article presents the results of survey conducted in Polish enterprises on usage and perception of these two solutions by employees. Respondents were asked about solution used in theirs companies, their habits and attitude towards digital identity itself, their knowledge about data protection, perceived advantages and disadvantages of individual and multi-user digital identity and their choice of the best solution. The surveys not only allow describing how individual and multiuser digital identities are used, but also indicate critical factors of usage of each type of digital identity.
