Here is a paraphrased critique of Copilot from one of my colleagues. I'm not sure if his criticism might be based on local configuration decisions or not. It is pertaining to providing general prompts as opposed to integrated use within the various 365 tools such as Outlook. My understanding is that ...

There are too many exceptions like this to count where someone who is not a regular employee or student needs access to IT resources. If these 'non-credit course takers' are not provisioned an account by the student system they would fall under the catch-all of 'guest' here. We have a guest system ...

We have it turned off unless you are in a group. GCP needs to be managed like AWS or Azure. We have two completely separate teams managing workspace and GCP.

I think this question is less about accessibility and more about usability... making sure the user knows they are leaving university controlled content.

I believe we are using groups instead of OUs to enforce storage limits. Using OUs created issues for us when a user needed to be in one OU for one reason and another OU for another equally important reason.

There is a lot of wisdom in that document. I see the fruits of 20+ years of passionate, international IAM debate, and I just skimmed part of it. ... looking forward to a deeper read.

'Correlation' often has a negative connotation, especially in 'privacy' discussions. It is something we all need to be aware of, but sometimes it is desired. The whole purpose of identifiers is to correlate information about a subject within a defined scope. You need to make sure you are ...

One person, one identity, one account. Keep it simple. If you have a mature identity and access management infrastructure, what a person has access to is not granted or revoked by enabling or disabling an account. Any concerns about access to and use of information because of dual affiliations can ...

We moved what was a public directory to our intranet. We may go further and limit information displayed without authentication. If you want prospective students to have nonpublic access without accounts you might try using personalized and/or time limited links or PINs sent via email.

The standard is https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-3/ We use video conferencing for 'in-person' vetting (show me your driver's license). We use personal email addresses (or mobile phone) that were already on file for password resets/recovery. In my opinion this does not need to be complicated. If the ...
