Institutional Identity Services (UTORauth)

Authentication - Free computer icons   Overview and Key Features:

UTORauth is the University of Toronto’s authorization and authentication database. It is the central capability for managing identities and role-based access authorization to U of T resources.

UTORauth works in three ways:

  1. Identification – each person with a relationship to U of T is given central identifiers.
  2. Authentication – UTORauth uses identifiers, such as the UTORid, for validation.
  3. Authorization – UTORauth determines what users are authorized to do based on their roles.

For detailed information about UTORauth functionality, see the Enterprise Service Centre (ESC) article “UTORauth: How it works”.
