Access Management is a self-service membership management tool built for the University of Iowa. With Access Management, you can manage your groups and access to resources from one central location using a familiar interface.
Access Management is commonly used to manage AD group membership. It is built using industry-standard APIs, so it's easy to add new resource providers, whether on campus or in the cloud.
To determine if Access Management is a good fit for your service or to have a new resource added to an existing service, email the ITS - Identity and Access Management team at its-iam@uiowa.edu.
