InCommon Virtual midPoint: Multi-Affiliation Management Training | April 7-9 2026

In higher education, identity management isn't just about creating and managing accounts—it's about understanding and supporting the fluid relationships individuals have with your institution. A single person might be simultaneously a student and employee, a guest researcher might transition to faculty, or an undergraduate could become a graduate teaching assistant. This advanced 3-day course builds upon the midPoint learning pathway to tackle these complex identity scenarios.

Learn how to effectively configure midPoint to handle various identity relationships common in academic institutions. Through hands-on exercises and real-world examples, you'll learn techniques for managing concurrent roles, implementing grace periods, and orchestrating smooth identity transitions while maintaining appropriate access levels and security controls.

Real-world scenarios will include:
•    Managing student workers who become full-time employees
•    Transitioning visiting scholars to faculty positions
•    Handling multiple concurrent affiliations
•    Implementing grace periods for service continuity
•    Correlating identity data from HR, SIS, and other campus systems
