Identity

The Identity section of the Identity group provides links to administration maintenance documents that allow you to create and maintain user data in the identity management (identity management) module of Streamlyne platform. Depending on your implementation, identity management may also be used with non-Streamlyne applications. Streamlyne Research communicates with identity management to determine each user’s identity information, groups they are a member of, roles, permissions associated with those roles, and workflow responsibilities. Permissions and responsibilities are defined by system roles, which can be customized to suit your institution’s needs.
