COmanage is an Open Source Project that is focused on streamlining digital lifecycle management for your populations. It is part of the InCommon Trusted Access Platform. In production, it consists of two tools: Registry and Match.

  • COmanage Registry is an identity registry with flexible enrollment and lifecycle management capabilities that help you meet your identity management objectives using standardized tools and approaches. It can be used as a central person registry, a guest management system, or a collaboration hub for scholarly collaborations.
  • COmanage Match performs identity de-duplication to help minimize the creation of duplicate accounts for the same individual. It provides a heuristic-based system for matching identity records across multiple authoritative systems-of-record. Match can be used with Registry or as a standalone product complementary to your other tools.

COmanage Newsletter #20 - March 2024

The COmanage Project has been undergoing a significant effort to fully update Registry into Version 5.0.  In this month’s newsletter, we are dedicating some time to explaining COmanage Registry’s Milestone Release strategy, a process that we are using to track progress toward v5.0, and enable those using the software to contribute feedback and input along the process.

The COmanage Community

Participate in the COmanage Community


Symbolic illustration of a group of people connected by gears. COmanage is a platform of open-source software that is used and supported by the community.  There are several ways in which this community connects, each listed below with links to more information. 

Community support is critically important to any open source project. The community drives the evolution of the software, supports its development financially and through in-kind support, and collaborates on the use cases that the software supports. We encourage you to join this community.
