1. A method for managing user access to services using a set of decentralized networked nodes that share a private permissioned blockchain data structure or a decentralized personal ledger, to which access has been limited to users authorized by one of the set of decentralized networked nodes, the method comprising:
receiving from an authentication logic configured to authenticate a requesting user, a decrypted user credential;
searching nodes of a private permissioned blockchain data structure or a decentralized personal ledger, to obtain information indicating a change in privilege or status is warranted for the decrypted user credential;
changing a property of the decrypted user credential when the information indicating a change in privilege or status is warranted is found; wherein a change in property limits access to services provided by the set of decentralized networked nodes that share a private permissioned blockchain data structure or a decentralized personal ledger, to which access has been limited to users authorized by one of the set of decentralized networked nodes; and
communicating to at least one other decentralized node, the change in privilege or status; thereby enabling other decentralized nodes to take action due to the change in privilege or status.
