Session abstract
Efficient identity management streamlines access to different resources and administrative systems, potentially saving universities and colleges time and money. This session will launch JISC’s new Identity Management Toolkit and show how it can help institutions with the practical task of managing identity. By answering questions submitted by the audience, a panel drawn from the team producing the toolkit, will suggest how tools within it can be used to support practical projects by institutions that are determined to tackle their own identity management at all levels, from the formation of sound policy to the selection and implementation of technical solutions. The session will draw on the experiences of Bristol University and Kidderminster College which ‘trialled’ the toolkit.

What can delegates expect to learn/gain/take away from the session? Delegates will take away the identity management toolkit documentation in high quality printed form and be directed to the toolkit website for further information. They will also find out about the extent and range of IdM issues faced by JISC community institutions, inspiration to tackle those issues that affect their own institutions and an understanding of how the JISC Identity Management Toolkit can be used to support this.
Who should attend? ICT directors / chief information officers, institutional ICT/administration managers with specific responsibility for identity and access management and/or personal records.
