Information Access

"Information access" comprises a set of tools, technologies, and business processes involved in maintaining accurate directory (generally non-demographic) data about employees, students, and other affiliated people; managing their access privileges to network and system resources; and doing both in the contexts of information security and privacy.

Strategic directions

1. Employees, students, and employee and student groups have personalized, granular, and secure access to exactly the resources they need.
2. Maintain single sign-on to web applications using CAS or other appropriate tool(s)..
3. The KUMC portal myKUMC is the primary mechanism for customized access to local web resources requiring authentication.
4. Assure that digital signatures are available for all KUMC applications requiring or benefitting from their use.
5. Facilitate inter-campus resource access with KU Lawrence.
6. Work with KUMC functional areas to identify and deploy tools for managing activities associated with KUMC events (registration, scheduling, logistics, etc.)
