Description
The Identity and Access Management (IAM) Service provides secure, centralized management
of digital identities and access controls for students, faculty, staff, and external
collaborators. This service ensures that users have the right access to the appropriate
systems and resources based on their roles within the institution. Features include
user authentication (e.g., Single Sign-On), authorization, password management, and
multi-factor authentication (MFA) for enhanced security. IAM enables efficient management
of access permissions, helping to protect sensitive data and systems from unauthorized
access while maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements. The service also
supports automated provisioning and de-provisioning of accounts, ensuring seamless
user experience and security throughout the lifecycle of user accounts.
