Identity and Access Management

Last Updated: 04/25/2013
Overview 

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is about linking persons and systems to campus services and data resources. IAM Services are about identifying persons, their relationship(s) to the university and campus, and facilitating their access to those resources their roles and relationships require. The key components in these services are authoritative person data, user (account) services that connect people to applications and resources, authentication (you are who you say you are) and authorization (you are permitted or entitled to do these things.)

IAM services rely on trustworthy university data (Campus Solutions and HRMS records) to identify faculty, staff, students, and other campus community members and to provide information and some level of assurance that these persons are who they say they are. IAM services are influenced heavily by the content of this university “source” data and are subject to data appropriate use and security policies and procedures.
