Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this thesis was to explore and propose different User Access Management (UAM) methods and solutions most suitable for a project website called ”DesignIT”. The website is a learning tool and aid for teachers and students to utilize during design related projects.
At the time of writing this report, the website does not provide any basic account management features such as resetting passwords or retrieving lost usernames, although the users must create accounts in order to use the tool. The administrators also have minimum control over these accounts.
In order to improve the overall user experience and offer the website administrators a way to manage the user accounts, this thesis proposes hypothetical and real UAM solutions to be implemented in the future.
To achieve the desired result for this thesis, a set of already existing user account management systems and methods were examined and compared in order to select the most fitting one for the website and to create models of some access management features the tool needs.
As a result, the website has a plan of UAM methods to implement should the administrators recognize the need for them. This thesis also argues the importance of UAM to justify the proposed solutions.
