# Identity Management System

The **Identity Management System** is the central URZ system used to automate the lifecycle of user identities at the Universität Greifswald.

## Functionality
For university members who are automatically eligible for a [[zentraler-nutzeraccount]] (such as employees or students upon entry), the system automatically retrieves the necessary personal data required to generate the account. This removes the need for manual application for the majority of university members.
