The EDUCAUSE Live! Spotlight on Identity Management series is a six-month series that will feature one or two speakers from a campus that have analyzed or solved a problem in a way that many people will find instructive.

Identity and access management (IAM) at University of Southern California (USC) has been a policy-driven, grassroots effort for the past five years. During that time collaborative committees with representatives from many academic and administrative units have enabled the accelerated growth of applications relying on identity data while governing the release of that data. With the backing of the university data stewards in the offices of the registrar, provost, and personnel services, policies have been implemented regarding the release of identifying sensitive information to both internal departments and external vendors. In this free web seminar on August 8, Identity Management at USC: Collaboration, Governance, and Access, presenters Brendan Bellina, identity services architect and manager of enterprise middleware development, and Margaret Harrington, director of the Office of Organization Improvement Services, both at USC, will discuss the composition of these committees, the governance policies that have been implemented, and some of the dozens of applications that have been enabled securely through this process.

The event is free, but registration is required and virtual seating is limited. Register now.
