UCTrust Work Group

As described in UCTrust University of California Identity Management Federation Service Description and Policies (March 27, 2007), the UCTrust Work Group is chartered as a collaborative body within UCTrust's organizational structure, comprised of identity management professionals at all of UC's locations, as well as service providers that utilize UCTrust identity services. The group meets regularly for the following purposes:

• Discussion of technical, policy, and operational issues related to UCTrust. As appropriate, issues and recommendations are forwarded to UC's Information Technology Leadership Council (ITLC), UCTrust's governing board, for resolution and adoption.
• Discussion of design and implementation issues related to identity management for UC-wide and multi-campus applications.
• Discussion of technical, policy, and operational issues related to campus identity management systems with the goal of fostering effective identity management practices throughout UC.

The UCTrust Work Group partners with other ITLC subgroups in multiple areas.  In particular,

• The IT Architecture Group is consulted for architectural issues related to technology. 
• The UC IT Policy and Security Officers Group is consulted for issues of policy.

While participation in UCTrust is open to any interested parties within the University of California, each location has a designated Campus Contact, who can provide official campus input to decision making when needed.
