Define Integrated Identities Requirements Project

This project will include an options appraisal and a decision on how to take Integrated Identities forward.

Background

In response to student demand for a more personalised experience at the University, this project aims to identify what improvements can be undertaken when handling user data associated with people and their usernames (known as Universal Username or UUN). The UUN is the name of the computer account which is automatically generated for a person when joining University of Edinburgh. The UUN is the username used to log on to most of the computers within the University, and to access web services.

The options need to take the following into consideration:

  • Co-ordination of identity creation across gold copy systems via the IDM;
  • Impact on systems for HR, Student, VRS, CARD, Alumni and similar where identities are generated autonomously;
  • Possible technical difficulties of implementation;
  • Impact of existing live records for persons with multiple UUN;
  • Impact on legacy records for persons with multiple UUN;
  • Imminent changes in HR through Core Systems;
  • The format of the UUN may need to change in order to accommodate increasing numbers of applicants;
  • Scale of existing changes within the Student Record.
