<p>I'd be willing to talk, but right now I won't be available until
the second half of May.</p>
<p>We are considerably smaller, with about 11k enrolled students
(with admitted we're in the ~20k range) with about 2.5k faculty
and staff. We use Grouper to make almost all of the decisions.
midPoint then provisions accounts to the correct places. So
Grouper says someone needs an Google account, and midPoint creates
it. Then Grouper is directly responsible for Google group
memberships. <br>
</p>
<p>We provision to about 20 different places. Many of them are to DB
tables to bridge to somewhere else. We have a lot of add places we
provision to that don't have connectors yet. And we haven't had
the time to develop them yet. So we are using some remains of our
old system that knows how to handle our odd file service, or
Qualtrics for instance. We have developed a custom connector for
Google Analytics, and are currently deploying one for our CMS. We
engaged with ProvisionIAM in the US. The are an Evolveum partner.
ProvisionIAM is the company behind the Zoom connector. We had them
extend the Zoom connector to be able to manage Zoom Phone
licenses, calling plans, locations, numbers, and extensions.<br>
</p>
<p>midPoint has a LOT of functionality that we aren't using. Given
our small staffing numbers, we only want to support having people
go through one product to make changes, and for us that product is
Grouper. The features we are using, work well for us. There are
other institutions in the US that are more features than we are. <br>
</p>
<p>If you have questions over email, I'd be happy to answer. We're
scrambling to get a lot of different pieces of the CMS project
done this week (my group also runs the CMS this is migrating away
from, we do a lot more than just IAM), then I'm off to the EU for
a couple of weeks, finishing up with the midPoint meetup in
Bratislava.<br>

Hi there,</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-family: Aptos, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">
I was wondering if any Universities would be interested in
talking to us (University of Edinburgh) about your experience
with midPoint?</div>

We are in the process of developing our IDAM strategy and a
Business Case for investment to replace our Identity
Management system with an IDAM solution. We’d not come across
any midPoint usage in the UK during our early sector comparison
so we’re really looking to talk to HE institutions to see how it
works in practice.</div>

We are a research intensive University with around
55,000 student identities of various types and 30,000 staff like
identities, though we’re hoping to make more use of federation
to reduce the need to create local identities as we migrate to
EntraID for Single Sign On.</div>

Would anybody be prepared to talk to our project team about your
