Federated access management allows users to access multiple online services using a single username and password. It provides benefits like increased security, reduced workload for organizations, and a better user experience. The UK Access Management Federation provides a standardized way for universities, schools, and other organizations to participate in federated access management. JISC supports the development and adoption of federated access management through funding, guidance materials, and an outreach team.
