Identity and Access Management (IdAM) is a security platform that encompasses account authentication, authorization, credential management, provisioning, and lifecycle management. IdAM creates and manages university identities and accounts by leveraging key data source systems (PeopleSoft and Ebiz). Data from these source systems determine an individual's current role and standing with the university and modify access accordingly. IdAM also implements Role Based Access Control (RBAC) to provision additional owner approved access in a managed and auditable process. IdAM platform provides an API for account operations utilized by the account activation and password management application (MYID) and is the repository for credential and sensitive identity data provided during activation.
