Sometimes people that have no clear relationship with the institutions, also need a campus identity. For students and staff this is pretty clear. But what do you do with consultants, guest researcher, members of research projects etc.? The decision for this should be made by the dean and/or department head (by means of a signed paper form, or clicking okay in a web form). It is also a good idea to issue identities that have limited validity in time, to keep your IdM clean in the long term.
Procedure for giving out identities.
How do you issue your identities (e.g. when a new student or teacher enters the institutions). Is it enough to send the relevant information to the new students'/teachers' official home address? Or do you require official identification (identy card, drivers' license, ...) in a face-to-face meeting? Piggybacking on banking e-identity for the initial release of the information (username/password) is also possible. For example, in Finland several Internet banks provide this service to third parties.
