Current issues - StudentsIRM Summit November 2014PwC010203Current identity provisioning can only process 700 accounts in one batch. Over 3or 4 days in August when the bulk of the undergraduate accounts are created thismay result in account creation times being more than one day;04The process for withdrawn student accounts due to outstanding debts, ismanual. This causes some inaccurate information flow, which is not beingfixed in a timely manner if the student clears the debt;The process for de-provisioning accounts for leavers only takes place twice a year;andThe policy around individuals who fall into both the staff and studentcategory is that they are treated as 2 different people.8 9. Current issues - StaffIRM Summit November 2014PwC010203Currently the agreed process between HR and IT restricts an applicant accountfrom being changed to a person account until a signed employment contract hasbeen received;04Complex technology that has been accumulated over the years;Students who work at the University need to maintain a second set of staffcredentials in addition to their student account; andStaff intake peaks in October when admission is three times higher than therest of the year and therefore requires supplementary processing by HR.9 10. Current issues - GuestsIRM Summit November 2014PwC010203From an operational perspective, the current process suffers from long processingtimes reliant on overnight batch jobs;The long processing times mean that the University cannot accommodatetheir goal to provision visitor accounts within the same day; andAs In Grace de-provisioning is run only once a month, user accounts of leaversare left with access to the systems longer than required. This poses an inherentsecurity risk.10 11.
