IGA Modernization

June 20, 2023

The IGA Modernization project team is currently finishing testing in the Qual environment. The team is also making preparations for the security handover to ISO and getting ready for the upcoming Go-live scheduled for later this summer. Additionally, the planning process for Phase 2, which involves the Workday midPoint feed and SailPoint retirement, has already commenced.

 

 

Program Goals

The goal of the IAM Modernization Program is threefold:

  • Consolidate IAM solutions to reduce technical debt
  • Improve IAM processes
  • Join the InCommon community

Program Phases

Due to the significant scope of this effort, the program has been divided into program phases with distinct deliverables.

Phase 0: Research

(tick) Complete.

Phase 0: Research was comprised of solution analysis and determined that our target tool set would be midPoint and Grouper.

The project team determined that the program would move forward with the InCommon Trusted Access Platform (TAP), implementing midPoint for identity management and Grouper for group and role management.

Phase I: Group and Role Management

(info) In Progress.

Phase I: Group and Role Management will create the infrastructure to facilitate Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) at the university. Project Charter attached. 

Phase II: Workday midPoint feed & SailPoint retirement

(info) In Progress.

Phase II: The Workday midPoint feed & SailPoint retirement is dedicated to transitioning the daily Workday file to be picked up and processed by midPoint and to retiring the SailPoint system

Future Phases

Future phases may change based on campus and team priorities.

Phase III: Identity Management is expected to modernize the tool set used to create, update, maintain, and administer identities.

Phase IV: Password Store is expected to modernize the infrastructure used to store passwords and integrate with downstream systems.

Phase V: Employee Records Business Logic is expected to review and improve how the identity management systems consolidate, analyze, and process employee data.

Phase VI: Other Business Logic is expected to review and improve how the identity management systems consolidate, analyze, and process all other identity data.
