Identity and Access Management (IAM)

Providing easy access to University resources

Members of the University of Wisconsin System community receive varying levels of access to campus resources and services depending on their relationship to the University. Access to some resources and services — such as the library, campus email, calendaring and the network — is granted when students register for classes or faculty begin employment at one of the System institutions.

The campus needs a simple way to entitle access to campus resources. That’s the job of Identity and Access Management (IAM) — help streamline the process of managing individual identities and people’s access to resources.

For example, IAM:

• Grants a visiting professor access to the network and to course management information
• Provides new hires with an email address before they start work, so they can receive employment information
• Enables campus-to-campus interactions for research collaborations between professors.

A project team is implementing the Oracle Identity and Access Management suite of products. When complete, this project will update our technology and enable UW-Madison and UW System institutions to improve their processes for identity and access management. For more information, contact Pam Allen.
