Identity Management (IDM) Project

Identity management is a broad administrative area that deals with identifying individuals in a system and controlling their access to resources within that system by associating user rights and restrictions with the established identity.

At the most basic level, identity management involves defining what users can do on the network with specific devices and under what circumstances. At UCA there is a wide range of requirements that need to be managed and identity management will enhance security by providing a single definition point.

The program aims to implement identity in achievable, sequenced projects to achieve its goals.

The goals of the project will be:

• To rationalise user access to systems and provide one single login. • To improve security by providing a single gate into the systems • To retire systems and procedures that create vulnerabilities when accessing the network • To utilize office 365 which also provides user storage. This will reduce the demand for space on the network and reduce the backup requirement
