Mike, We currently use a separate ID# and PIN for accessing the SIS (Banner) system. However, we are working on an Identity Management (IDM) project this summer that will allow us to synch most account types, including e-mail, course management, SIS, etc. Synching up our Banner self-service accounts will probably be in phase II of the IDM project, but that is where we are headed.

We are looking at implementing a single point of authentication for most of our accounts. I would like to ask what others are doing in respect to accounts that access your SIS information. For example, faculty that access SIS to enter student grades. Are you using separate accounts for SIS or are the general accounts being used for this kind of access? I would like to see a separate account but I am getting the convenience side argument (which I understand). Any thoughts will be a help.
