Identity and Access Management (IAM) is the set of business policies, processes, and a supporting infrastructure for managing the creation, maintenance and use of digital identities. The IAM program is a multi-year initiative to develop an Identity and Access management system that will:
- Quickly and easily identify and enable a person's function at the university
- Simplify the process for accessing information services, systems, physical facilities, and other resources
- Allow people to establish an identity during their first contact with the University
- Enable departmental systems to make use of a common identity facility
- Provide Inter-departmental institution-wide automated identity workflow
- Have the capability to support finely–targeted broadcast communications
- Allow personal information to be managed through an easy-to-use online service
- Support easy inter-university access to resources
- Identity security and auditing standards consistent with university policies
- Provide local control of local identity resources
