Campuses are increasingly turning to external identities as an alternative to "guest" accounts for people who do not have institutional identities, like parents, alumni, external researchers, and continuing education students. This IAM Online will present an overview of the topic, touch on the recommendations from the InCommon External Identities Working Group, then delve into these topics:

  • key business drivers

  • campus experience from UMBC (parents) and Oregon State (trial with Canvas)

  • level of effort required for integration
  • risk assessment and determination
  • legal and privacy policy implications

  • cost-savings from eliminating local guest services


In addition, some campuses have started to look at invitations and account linking. Join us for this interesting and timely IAM Online.
