With one calendar year under its belt, t<\/span>he Enterprise Identity Access Management (EIAM) program<\/span> reflects on its 2017 accomplishments. <\/span>Launched in January 2017, the program coordinates and unites IAM efforts for all U-M campuses\u2014Ann Arbor, Dearborn, Flint, and Michigan Medicine\u2014to improve the technology and administrative processes that allow authorized individuals to access U-M resources. <\/span>Below is a partial list of 2017 achievements and ongoing efforts: <\/span><\/p>\n

Improved and consistent onboarding emails:<\/b> Revising the emails used to orient students, faculty, and staff to their online identity results in more timely, consistent, and clear information on everything from establishing a uniqname to accessing protected Michigan Medicine resources.<\/span><\/p>\n

Easier uniqname and account setup process<\/b>: Replacing the One-Time Identifier (OTID) number in onboarding emails with a clickable link, the new process also introduced a mobile-friendly web design and near real-time data for better reporting and service support. A flexible design allows for future use by other U-M groups, including UM-Dearborn, which will soon launch the option for incoming students.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recommended options for uniqnames<\/b>: The project team concluded its project with an <\/span>analysis of options and recommendations<\/span><\/a> for moving forward and laying a foundation for long-term change.<\/span><\/p>\n

Established an <\/b>EIAM steering committee<\/b><\/a>: EIAM Program cross-campus collaboration also includes several advisory groups to help design and implement immediate improvements, as well as long-term governance of IAM at the University of Michigan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Selected a <\/b>preferred vendor for role and access management:<\/b> The team worked with academic, clinical, and administrative partners to complete the request for proposal (RFP) process to select a preferred vendor to support a <\/span>role and access management<\/span><\/a> service that can be used by all University of Michigan campuses and Michigan Medicine. The Role and Access Management Project team also interviewed a variety of stakeholders to gather requirements and identify candidates for the initial pilots of the new service at U-M beginning in 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several EIAM projects<\/span><\/a> are also reaching year-one milestones. Looking ahead, the EIAM program will seek funding to continue IAM improvements across U-M campuses. The initiative is jointly funded by the Office of the Provost and Michigan Medicine through the end of June, 2018. Check out the <\/span>News & Updates<\/span><\/a> on the EIAM Program website for a complete list of the past year\u2019s status reports and highlights of program and project successes.<\/span><\/p>\n
