make sure that this software is right for my non-profit organization.
My Goals for the IDM
- Initial identity information is collected once when a person starts
work.
I would say this is self-registration, which you can handle with Apache
Syncope Enduser - see demo at
http://syncope-vm.apache.org:9080/syncope-enduser
- Account provisioning is automated in all systems.
Generally, provisioning works this way but complete coverage depends on
the availability of ConnId connectors for such systems:
https://github.com/Tirasa/ConnId/blob/master/README.md#available-connectors
Naturally, new connectors can be created for other technologies.
- Roles define default privileges and access.
In Syncope, roles are used for internal authorization and delegated
administration; groups can be used instead to cover this item.
- Users self manage their demographics.
Again, Enduser is fit for the job.
- Integrated HR and technical processes.
This really depends on what you mean by "integrated": is this something
covered by provisioning? Alternatively you can tweak the workflow.
Am I correct to say that syncope can meet most if not all of these
goals?
Definitely, you are correct: should you need some more background
information on how Apache Syncope works, please take a look at the draft
reference guide that we are finalizing in these days: still some parts
missing, but core concepts already there:
