Access Management is one of JISC's strategic themes. Here is all the work that JISC is doing in the area of Access Management.

Access management

Access management describes the process of providing controlled, secure access to resources. It involves both authentication – the process of determining that a user is who she or he claims to be, and authorisation – the process of determining what resources a user is permitted to access. Access management is significant as both a key service and an enabler for other services and initiatives across JISC. It not only builds and supports the network infrastructure, but underpins e-Learning, e-Research and digital library activities for a wide range of audiences. As such JISC funds both services, through the Athens service and the UK Access Management Federation, and development work in the areas of access management and security. This work is supported through international liaison and knowledge exchange with Internet2, TERENA and DEST.  See information on the adoption of federated access managment.
