In partnership with the Australian Access Federation (AAF), the Identity & Access Management Community (IDAM) is a collaboration of IDAM practitioners across the higher education and research sector working towards the common goal of increasing clarity, exploring trends, issues and challenges and sharing knowledge and experiences relating to Identity & Access Management.

The IDAM Community Provides a platform for organisations to showcase their work and be acknowledged/recognised for their achievements. The Community connects peers for the purposes of knowledge exchange and learning from one another’s successes and failures. The IDAM Community recognises that IDAM is often specialist work whilst there is overlap with other areas such as Enterprise Architecture and Cybersecurity Groups.

The group operates as a collaborative work unit and seeks to provide a forum to formally and informally share experiences, knowledge and skills amongst CAUDIT member institutions, and to capture opportunities and make recommendations on good practice and improvements through this process.

Membership of the IDAM Community is open to IT staff from CAUDIT Member institutions and AHECS Partners, AAF, AusCERT, AARNet and REANNZ.
