Organization Categories in the Identity Management
The organizational directory of RWTH Aachen University maps all of the university's organizations. It serves as an important basis for supporting digitalized processes. Almost every organization can have a role administration set up to manage permissions to the university's IT services. Different types of organizations are distinguished by categories and are automatically assigned roles depending on the category.
Please note: Depending on the service, the associated role is only activated once you are a customer of the service, regardless of the category.
The assignment and maintenance of the category is carried out by Dept. 5.1. You can see which category is assigned to your organization in RWTHcontacts at the respective organization under “Organization data”. The assignment and maintenance of the category is carried out by the department that sets up the organization. For more information, see “What is role management?".
