Identity Management Services Overview
Quicklink(s)
Identity management refers to the policies, processes, and technologies that establish user identities and enforce rules about access to digital resources. OIT provides a suite of identity management and authentication services collectively referred to as Identity and Access Management services.
In a campus setting, many information systems, such as email, learning management systems, virtual private networks, require users to authenticate themselves (typically with a username and password). An authorization process then determines which systems an authenticated user is permitted to access. With an enterprise identity management system, rather than having separate credentials for each system, a user can employ a single digital identity to access all resources to which the user is entitled.
Our mission is to provide secure and reliable enterprise identity and access management, and authorization services to the UCI community.
Our identity management database was developed by OIT using modern technologies and a relational database management system.
