This page explains what the link between personal data in Identity Management and data in the RWTH People Directory entails.

To offer RWTH members centralized services and comprehensive support, a connection exists between RWTHcontacts (PVZ People Directory ) and Identity Management. This connection makes it possible to link the public data of employees in the RWTH People Directory with:

• the contact data in RWTHonline and connected services.
• accounts in Identity Management.

No additional information is recorded.

Advantages for employees of RWTH Aachen University

• Performing roles (e.g. IT requester, business travel requests, HR manager, etc.) in role management: People who are registered in the PVZ fulfil the role condition "PVZ" and therefore have an official email address assigned to them.
• In RWTH Single Sign-On, information on business contact data (email address, telephone number) and the assignment of a person to an organization is available for use in downstream processes.
• Person-specific exports in Identity Management can be enriched with contact information from RWHTcontacts to support further processes.

Linking the data

The link is created by the holder of the "Verwaltung organization" role at an institution by assigning a person to this institution in the RWTH People Directory.

• Once a new person has been assigned to an organization in the RWTH People Directory, the link to Identity Management will be created automatically, usually within 40 minutes.

You can remove people from your institution's People Directory at any time. Please note the following information:

• If you delete a person from your institution's entry in the People Directory, the person will lose their official contact details in Identity Management.
• If you delete the person's last link to an organization in RWTHcontacts, they will automatically lose all roles for which they were authorised.
• If the person is still registered in another organization with a corresponding link, the roles will also remain for your organization and must be removed manually by the role administration.
