Identity Management

Kuali Identity Management (KIM) is a Kuali module that provides a means for authorization and definition of user permissions.  It is one of many modules that comprise Kuali Rice.  Customizable and configurable by implementing institutions, KIM uses namespaces to restrict who has access to what.  Examples include restricting available user interface options based on a user’s identity.  This flexibility allows the KC system to be presented to the user in such a way as to limit them to only what they need to use to accomplish their particular job. 

For more information about Kuali’s identity management module, see “http://rice.kuali.org/kim/” in the Kuali Rice Web site.
