With increasing reliance on online transactions in learning, teaching, research and institutional administration, effective access and identity management (AIM) is essential for organisations to know who their users are, and what they are entitled to access and do. This workshop will highlight quick win solutions developed by the Identity Management co-design project that focused on addressing the cultural, social and political barriers to good identity management within Higher Education from a user’s perspective. These include further development of the Identity Management Toolkit, a new Identity hub that provides an introduction to identity management and collates relevant resources, and an investigation into the identity management user experience. A new Jisc Access & Identity Management (AIM) Strategy and Plan has also been published to ensure delivery and evolution of access and identity management for the UK education and research sectors. This workshop provides the opportunity to inform you of the Jisc AIM services that can benefit your institution and for Jisc to better understand any issues or barriers you have in adopting federated AIM services.

2. Introduction
With increasing reliance on online transactions in learning, teaching, research and
institutional administration, effective Access and Identity Management (AIM) is
essential for organisations to know who their users are, and what they are entitled
to access and do.
This workshop will highlight quick win solutions developed by the Identity
Management co-design project, which is addressing the cultural, social and political
barriers to good identity management within Higher Education from a user’s
perspective. This includes further development of the Identity Management
Toolkit, a new Identity hub, providing an introduction to identity management and
collating relevant resources, and an investigation into the identity management
user experience.
A new Jisc Access & Identity Management (AIM) Strategy and Plan has also been
published to ensure delivery and evolution of access and identity management for
the UK education and research sectors.
This workshop provides the opportunity to inform you of the Jisc AIM services that
can benefit your institution and for Jisc to better understand any issues or barriers
you have in adopting federated AIM services.
