The Person document allows you to identify each user to KIM (and, by extension, to OLE). Each Person document includes data about a user's relationship with your institution as well as the roles and groups to which this person belongs.
In KIM a person is a unique combination of an 'entity ID' and a 'principal ID.' The entity ID represents a person with a unique number, and the document associates the entity ID with the user's principal ID number and principal name (often referred to as a user name or user ID). When searching for or working with users in KIM, you usually reference either the principal ID or the principal name. A single entity ID can have multiple principals associated with it, but the base OLE implementation of KIM assumes that each entity ID has only a single principal.
Note
Note that initiation of the Person document is restricted to members of the KR-SYS Technical Administrator or OLE-SYS Manager role.
The Person document includes Overview, Contact, Privacy Preferences, and Membership tabs.
The Overview tab identifies the person as a unique combination of entity and principal ID. It also contains information about how this person is affiliated with your institution. Two types of affiliations—staff and faculty—contain additional data elements to further define a person's relationship with your institution.
The instructions below assume that you are manually completing this information. Many institutions may want to either have this data fed from an existing person database or simply override this information with existing person data.
The first section in the Overview tab is the Overview section.
