Identity & Access Management (IAM) makes it easy for you to get appropriate access and to collaborate with others at U-M and beyond. This helps you protect your privacy and the integrity of information belonging to you and to the university.
- Identity management connects you, and only you, with your online identity at U-M.
- Access management lets you in to the systems you are eligible to use—and keeps out those who are not.
The Wolverine Identity Program is currently underway to transform identity and access management at U-M. The program launched in 2025 and is estimated to continue for three years with multiple phases. For more information on the program visit the Wolverine Identity Program website.
U-M Account Lifecycle
For security reasons, ITS archives accounts that are not used regularly. No action is needed if an account is no longer needed. To maintain an account, simply sign in to any U-M service.
Archived accounts do not receive email and account data is deleted. Additional steps are required to restore access to an archived account.
How to get help
