MyUCLA is UCLA Student services portal. Rather a traditional portal where content is collected and delivered via widgets on a single platform, MyUCLA is made up of several distinct web applications. Each of these applications is managed by a different department at UCLA. MyUCLA produces a coherent user experience through coordinated design, development, and a set of back-end data sharing/exchange interfaces. In particular, all MyUCLA applications share a common set of Grouper-managed user roles and access memberships. Group membership is managed via a mix of book-of-record data feeds and direct updates via Grouper web service. The membership assignment in turn maps to role attribute values. All applications under the MyUCLA umbrella consume role attributes via Shibboleth to determine user access at run time.
