Goals:
Develop a new sponsored UW NetID service that handles identity management, affiliation
management, and issuance of UW NetID credentials for individuals without a "native" UW
affiliation but that have a legitimate need to access UW and UW Medicine systems.
Summary:
This is a joint project between UW Medicine and UW Technology. UW Technology maintains the
central UW Person Registry and the UW NetID system that store user identities and
authentication credentials for many UW and UW Medicine applications. UW Medicine needs to
provide access to applications for many individuals that are not part of the UW or UW Medicine
(e.g., external students, visiting researchers, referring providers). This need has been met
by a non-standard, manual process mediated by the UW Medicine UAA team. The Sponsored UW Net
ID project will replace this model with a sponsorship model in which designated individuals
within work groups will sponsor external users that will work in their areas. Once the
sponsorship setup process has been completed, the external individuals will be able to sign
up for their own UW NetIDs via self-service.
