Stakeholder

Any person or group that have an interest in a project or service

The three main sets of stakeholder for Information Architecture projects are:

Owner: The person or entity that commissioned the Information Architecture, usually the group that will deliver the resulting product or service
User: A person who uses a system, the normal expectation is that users do not require the technical expertise required to fully understand the system
Information Architect: A practitioner of Information Architecture

However the range of stakeholders can include anyone with an interest in the system.
