Other Features
Authorization
MIDAS has a robust authorization system capable of authorizing services or approvals for nearly any data element in MIDAS.
Account Requirement
MIDAS is capable of enforcing Account Requirements by leveraging the authorization system. Requirements such as "Everyone must sign the AUP" and "Employee Training must be completed by Employees." Requirements can be dynamically added and changed.
Roles
Roles describe your affiliation to the University. Many are defined through University Business processes, while others are associated to you during account creation.
Auto Provisioning
This process is linked to Authorizations, enabling MIDAS to target service provisioning based on any criteria supported by the authorization system.
Administrative Interfaces
The administrative interface was created to support account managers and help desk staff. This interface supports workflows, employment information, greater service detail and control, as well as other administrative functions and processes.
