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.

MCommunity is a new enterprise directory and identity management system under development at the University of Michigan, a large, decentralized institution. MCommunity will provide a central infrastructure that can be used not only for central IT service provisioning but also for service provisioning within units. Planning for and development of MCommunity is a collaborative effort across both U-M IT units and the many units that will use the new system. In this free seminar on May 19, MCommunity to Improve IT Service Provisioning at the University of Michigan, presenters Elizabeth A. Salley, product manager, and Luke Tracy, MCommunity co-technical lead, both from the University of Michigan, will discuss the issues and concepts surrounding the development of this new system.

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

The EDUCAUSE Live! Spotlight on Identity Management series is a new, 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.

In the series' first seminar on January 18, A Case for Collaborative Identity Management in a Complex Decentralized Environment, presenters Andrea Beesing, Assistant Director, IT Security, and David S. Yeh, Assistant Vice President and University Registrar, Cornell University, will use the identity life cycle of the Cornell student as a use case and discuss the value of approaching identity management as a collective responsibility. The business and IT sides of the house must partner to meet rising expectations for streamlined access to information in a world where services are distributed not only across multiple campus units but also across multiple institutions.

The event is free, but registration is required and virtual seating is limited. REGISTER NOW.
