The 糖心Vlog官方 Identity Management System
The 糖心Vlog官方 Identity Management System (糖心Vlog官方IMS) collects and consolidates information concerning people associated with the University so that 糖心Vlog官方 may better establish and manage a single, permanent identity for each person. This unique identity enables a person to access all of the appropriate online resources centrally hosted by the University.
Middleware is considered to be software glue that enables disparate administrative applications, such as Banner and PeopleSoft, to work together. 糖心Vlog官方IMS is middleware. It provides 糖心Vlog官方 the ability to automatically enable and disable access to online resources, such as email, Laulima, eCafe, lab computers, and administrative and student online resources, such as My糖心Vlog官方.
One of the early accomplishments of 糖心Vlog官方IMS was to establish the 糖心Vlog官方 Number as a replacement for the Social Security Number (SSN) in order to better protect our community members from identity theft; it is no longer appropriate to use the SSN as a unique identifier. The 糖心Vlog官方 Number has been called "employee ID number" and "student ID number". Whether a person is a student, faculty, staff, affiliate, ohana, retiree, or some combination of these, a person's 糖心Vlog官方 Number remains the same. Closely associated with the 糖心Vlog官方 Number is a 糖心Vlog官方 Username. The 糖心Vlog官方 Username is used to establish your email address, and, along with a unique password of your choice, it will be your key to using the University's online resources.
As a member of the 糖心Vlog官方 community, one sometimes traverses many roles (student, faculty, staff, affiliate, retiree, ohana) and, at times, is in multiple roles at once. 糖心Vlog官方IMS tracks a person's roles to help ensure that each person has access to the appropriate online resources and services. Additionally, 糖心Vlog官方IMS provides each person with email updates of role changes that might impact one's access to services, listing in the 糖心Vlog官方 Online Directory, etc.
糖心Vlog官方IMS implements the following policies as of 2023:
- Students, Faculty, Staff, Retirees and Emeriti, by default, have access to basic online services (see Resources below for links to more information).
- Retirees and Emeriti retain basic online services by subscription; they will receive annual email messages reminding them to confirm renewal for another year.
- Students and pre-students who do not register for classes, and Faculty and Staff that leave employment at 糖心Vlog官方 (retiring is not quite the same thing) automatically transition to a 糖心Vlog官方IMS role of 'Ohana and, by default, are granted a 180-day grace period during which continued access to email and other basic online services is provided. During the grace period, the option to enroll in our 'Ohana online services is provided. See Resources below for more information on Online Services for 'Ohana.
- The option to enroll in our 'Ohana online services is available to users prior to losing their active affiliation and during their grace period. Enrollment is retained by annual renewal; reminders to renew will be sent by email.
- The grace period is provided so that data, files, etc. can be archived by the owner and relocated (see Resources below for a link to instructions on saving mail and webpage data to your computer). At the end of the grace period for ohana, all files are deleted from 糖心Vlog官方 servers, which includes personal webpages. Enrollment in our 'Ohana online services will preserve access to the 糖心Vlog官方 email account and all mail data stored there.
- For 'Ohana that do not renew their annual enrollment in our 'Ohana online services, all Google@糖心Vlog官方 data (including emails stored in Gmail, documents stored in Drive, calendar and contact data, etc.) is removed and access to log in with their 糖心Vlog官方 Username and password is revoked.
- Beginning on 1/29/2024, 'Ohana users are provided with 7.5 GB of storage quota for their Google@糖心Vlog官方 account. Users will have the entire length of their grace period (180 days) in order to review their storage usage and download/export/delete emails, files, and photos to bring their usage under their 7.5 GB quota. 'Ohana users who exceed their quota may have their 糖心Vlog官方 Usernames disabled. This will result in the loss of access to associated services and the loss of all data stored within their Google@糖心Vlog官方 account (including emails stored in Gmail, documents stored in Drive, calendar and contact data, etc.). See Resources below for more information on 'Ohana Google@糖心Vlog官方 storage limitations and quotas.
- For retirees that do not renew their annual subscription for 糖心Vlog官方 basic online services, all Google@糖心Vlog官方 data (including emails stored in Gmail, documents stored in Drive, calendar and contact data, etc.) is removed, including personal webpages.
- For emeriti that do not renew their annual subscription upon expiration, all Google@糖心Vlog官方 data (including emails stored in Gmail, documents stored in Drive, calendar and contact data, etc.) is removed, including personal webpages. Exclusive to Emeriti, there is an option to request that personal webpages continue to be preserved for as long as possible for the benefit of the larger academic community. While ITS makes no promises, the content will be left intact and accessible for as long as possible. The department of the faculty member continues to have the option to request that the pages be taken down.
- ITS reminds our ‘Ohana users that continued access to 糖心Vlog官方 Usernames and associated services are not an entitlement and are provided as a privilege. All services available via the 糖心Vlog官方 Username are still governed by applicable 糖心Vlog官方 policies and State laws, including 糖心Vlog官方 Executive Policy E2.210 and Chapter 708, Hawaii Revised Statutes. Former faculty, staff, and affiliates are further reminded that, pursuant to EP 2.210 Section III.E., your former employing unit/department can exercise authority over your 糖心Vlog官方 Username and can request to have access to your 糖心Vlog官方 Username revoked or have departmental data transferred from the account.
