Over the past few months we’ve introduced you to IAM<\/a>\u00a0(Identity Access Management) and in particular, one of it’s offspring, SUNid. If this all seems a bit hazy to you, let me recap.<\/p>\n

SUNid is the first and an important building block of identity and access management (IAM).\u00a0External workers and visitors are registered on this system.\u00a0Previously this task was completed by Human Resources, but it has been decentralised and departments are now responsible for external workers and visitors themselves. Read more on the step by step procedures here.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

After a few tweaks, a new version of SUNid will be implemented shortly. Most of the changes have been made at the back end of the system, but there are a few changes users of SUNid will notice.<\/p>\n

1. Staff and student engagements are added on SUNid to ensure that there’s only one place\u00a0(\u2018Maintain Identities\u2019) where all a person’s engagements can be viewed. (HR and student engagements can not be created or changed on SUNid by SUNid users.)<\/p>\n

2. Previously a person could only have an identity on HR or SUNid. This limitation has been removed. However, a person may still have only one of each type of engagement, whether it’s staff, student, external worker or visitor.<\/p>\n

3. The “Register Identity” function has been changed in such a way that users first have to do a search for an existing person\u00a0record before attempting to create an entirely new one. This is of utmost importance to avoid duplicates being created. Training in the use of SUNid is necessary before staff are given access to SUNid.<\/p>\n

4. Lastly, a delete function has been added for engagements in the\u00a0\u2018Draft\u2019 status in case a mistake has been made and the request has to be cancelled. SUNid does delete all drafts after 7 days, but users will now be able to also do this manually.<\/p>\n

We hope these updates will ensure an even smoother and more pleasant SUNid experience for all SUNid users. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to contact us at helpinfo@sun.ac.za.Oor die afgelope paar maande het ons julle bekendgestel aan\u00a0IAM<\/a>\u00a0(Identity Access Management) en spesifiek, aan een van sy kroos, SUNid. As dit alles vir jou `n bietjie vaag klink, laat ek jou herinner.<\/p>\n

SUNid is die eerste en en `n belangrike bousteen van identiteit-en toegangsbestuur(IAM).\u00a0Eksterne werkers en besoekers word op hierdie stelsel geskep.\u00a0Die taak is voorheen deur Menslike Hulpbronne verrig, maar is nou desentraliseer en departemente neem dus self verantwoordelikheid vir eksterne werkers en besoekers by die departement. \u00a0Lees meer oor die stap-vir-stap prosedures hier.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Ons het onlangs `n paar veranderinge aangebring en `n nuwe weergawe van SUNid sal binnekort\u00a0implementeer word. Die grootste gedeelte van die aanpassings is aan die tegniese kant van die stelsel gemaak en dus nie direk sigbaar aan gebruikers nie. Daar is egter `n paar veranderinge wat gereelde SUNid-gebruikers wel mag oplet.<\/p>\n

Die belangrikste veranderings wat gebruikers sal sien, is:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Personeel- (HR) en studenteverbintenisse (engagements) word bygevoeg op SUNid sodat daar een plek is (\u2018Maintain Identities\u2019) om alle verbintenisse van \u0149 persoon te sien (HR en studente verbintenisse kan nie op SUNid geskep of verander word deur SUNid gebruikers nie).<\/li>\n
  2. Voorheen kon\u00a0\u0149 persoon nie gelyktydig \u0149 HR en SUNid verbintenis mag h\u00ea nie. Hierdie beperking is verwyder. \u0149 Persoon mag egter steeds slegs een van elke tipe verbintenis, onder andere personeel, student, eksterne werker en besoeker, gelyktydig h\u00ea.<\/li>\n
  3. Die \u2018Register Identity funksie\u2019 word verander sodat gebruikers eers \u0149 soektog moet doen vir \u0149 bestaande persoonrekord voordat daar gepoog word om \u0149 nuwe te skep. \u00a0Hierdie stap is uiters belangrik om duplikate te vermy. Opleiding vir die gebruik van SUNid\u00a0is eintlik noodsaaklik voordat persone toegang tot SUNid kry.<\/li>\n
  4. `n ‘Delete’-funksie word bygevoeg vir verbintenisse in \u2018Draft\u2019 status vir gebruik waar die invoerder \u0149 fout maak of besluit om nie voort te gaan nie. SUNid vee wel alle ‘drafts’ na 7 dae uit as dit nie goedgekeur word nie, maar nou sal gebruikers dit self ook kan doen.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Ons hoop hierdie verbeterings sal `n gladder en meer aangename SUNid-ondervinding vir alle SUNid-gebruikers meebring. Indien jy enige navrae of voorstelle het, kontak ons gerus by helpinfo@sun.ac.za.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
