Overview
The EDI Identity and Access Management (EDI IAM) Service allows you to control access to your resources in the EDI repository.Accounts and Profiles
- Each account (e.g., Google, ORCID) you use to sign in creates a separate profile in the EDI Identity and Access Management Service.
Linking Profiles
- Linking your profiles enables you to gain combined access to all resources across those profiles, while signing in to just one of them.
- The profile you are currently signed in to (shown at the top right) is your primary profile. The profile you sign in to during the linking procedure, becomes a linked profile. After linking, signing in to either will sign you in to your primary profile.
- Your primary profile keeps all its resources and gains access to those of linked profiles. Linked profiles also keep their resources.
- If you link an account already linked to other profiles, all those profiles become linked to your primary profile.
- If the account you link does not have a profile, one is created and linked automatically.
Unlinking Profiles
- You can unlink profiles anytime from the Accounts page.
- Unlinking a profile causes it to become a primary profile, which you can sign in to separately again.
- Your primary profile keeps all its resources and loses access to those of the unlinked profile.
- The unlinked profile also keeps its resources.
- No profiles or resources are removed.
