Software: InCommon Trusted Access Platform
It is challenging to provide, manage, and revoke access to institutional resources as people’s roles and needs change over time. The InCommon Trusted Access Platform can help!
A person’s role with an organization often changes over time. Someone may enter the identity system as a student – or probably a prospective student – and then things begin to change. That person may or may not graduate, may go to graduate school, or may become an employee, among other options. The challenge becomes managing access — providing access, removing access, or changing access to multiple resources depending on the situation.
Research and education colleagues developed the InCommon Trusted Access Platform to solve these problems that are unique – or at least more extensive – in our community. The software can help you manage these access issues over multiple resources and systems of record.
Shibboleth provides single sign-on (SSO) across or within organizational boundaries. It allows sites to make informed authorization decisions for individual access of protected online resources in a privacy-preserving manner.
