BE IT RESOLVED to approve designation of an Identified Official with Authority for Education Identity Access Management. The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE), Professional Educator Licensing Standards Board (PELSB), and Office of Higher Education (OHE) require annual designation of an Identified Official with Authority (IOwA) for each local education agency that uses the Education Identity Access Management (EDIAM) system. The IOwA is responsible for authorizing, reviewing, and recertifying user access for this local education agency in accordance with the State of Minnesota Enterprise Identity and Access Management Standard, which states that all user access right to Minnesota state systems must be reviewed and recertified at least annually. The Identified Official with Authority will authorize user access to State of Minnesota Education secure systems in accordance with the user’s assigned job duties, and will revoke that user’s access when it is no longer needed to perform their job duties. The Director recommends the board authorize Kim Johnson, kjohnson@nwric.com, and EDIAM user ID of kejohnsonnwric to act as the Identified Official with Authority (IOwA) for the LEA name and organization number effective July 1, 2022.
