Only authorized individuals from the InCommon Federation operations and participant organizations can access Federation Manager. 

To manage metadata for a Participant organization, a user must have one of these following roles:

• Site Administrator
  • can sign into FM to view, add, update, and remove his/her organization's metadata
  • can request entity metadata to be published to the InCommon metadata
  • can designate additional delegated administrators
  • reviews metadata updates made by a Delegated Administrator and approves them for submission
• Delegated Administrator
  • can sign into FM to update a subset of his/her organization's entity metadata as determined by the Site Administrator

How do I become a Site Administrator?

An Participant's InCommon Executive assigns up to two Site Administrators to manage the organizations' entity metadata in InCommon. See InCommon Roles on the InCommon web site for more information.
