An institution must have an Identity Provider (IdP) service, and is ultimately responsible for allowing or restricting any information (such as attributes) to be shared about their user communities. Organizations may want to consider implementing a service such as <a href="https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/CAR/CAR%3A+Consent-informed+Attribute+Release+system">Consent-informed Attribute Release</a> (CAR), a service that is out of scope for SeamlessAccess itself, but which will allow IdPs to put control of information sharing in the hands of their users.</p> <p>IdP operators can point Service Providers to our website and ask them to implement SeamlessAccess. IdP operators are also encouraged to communicate with library colleagues about ways to improve access, the possibilities of federated authentication for library resources, what attributes to release, and more.</p> <p>SeamlessAccess streamlines an organization鈥檚 existing federated identity environment by making it possible for users to stay logged in across different resource providers (single sign-on).</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <footer class="main-footer pr-5 pl-5 pt-3 pb-2"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12 col-md-3 col-lg-3 text-center text-xl-left text-lg-left text-md-left"> <img class="footer-logo pb-3" alt="SeamlessAcces Logo" src="/images/sa-logo-white.svg"/> <br/> <p> SeamlessAccess enables true Sign On.
