Re: Student Accounts After Graduation

[Maria Peluso <mpb () UMN EDU>]

This is a great topic.  We are also struggling with the 'eternal' account
issue and want to make a move.  My concern lies in data permissions that
may be tied to an alumni account.

To do this, how to phase-in an approach without a full blown IDM for grad
students/researcher assistants who may need continued access, etc.?
