Understanding Identity and Access Management (IAM) for Higher Education Institutions

This overview presents a comprehensive look at Identity and Access Management (IAM) within an academic context, emphasizing its alignment with university business processes, policies, and technologies. IAM aims to consolidate identity stores, simplify user management of identity information, mitigate risks, and enhance flexibility. An effective governance structure is critical for resolving conflicts and guiding decision-making in IAM implementation. Engaging in self-assessment exercises is essential for understanding current IAM capabilities and challenges. Additional resources are available for collaborative support and technical guidance.
