Re: sync general user accounts to SIS accounts ?

["Gregg, Christopher S." <CSGREGG () STTHOMAS EDU>]

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.

Subject: [SECURITY] sync general user accounts to SIS accounts ?



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.

Thanks,
Mike
