BaseCAMP Basics

The InCommon BaseCAMP is a workshop for those new to identity and access management (IAM), new to InCommon, or both.

An introduction to the basics of identity and access management (IAM) — whether you manage identities, make resources available to those from other organizations, or both.
An introduction to the InCommon Federation, the U.S. identity federation serving education and research.
An overview of the community-developed identity and access management suite, the InCommon Trusted Access Platform, and the role it can play in your IAM system.
