1. Introduction
The Support Organization User Guide is designed to provide you with information for completing configuration for Support Organization. Included in this guide are instructions to assist you with the information that needs to be completed on each page. The Support Organization section provides summary information for the Support Organization and its Constituents.
2. Logging In
To access the eduroam Federation Manager portal, use the link:
The landing page displays all roles available to you in the portal.
Most users will only have one role to select. Support organizations have two user types. The first user type is an eduroam Support Organization Administrator which has the ability to review and update the supporting organization information along with being able to update configuration for all constituents. Clicking this link will take you to the Support Organization eduroam Dashboard. The second user type is the eduroam Administrator which has the ability to update constituent configuration for any organization that has link in the current roles. Clicking this link will take you to the Review and Submit page for the Organization selected.
3. Support Organization eduroam Dashboard
The Support Organization eduroam Dashboard provides information in the following sections:
- eduroam Support Organization Administrators - a list of the users who can view and update this page. As changes are made to the eduroam Support Organization Administrators, they will be reflected in this section.
- eduroam Constituents - a list of the constituents that are supported under the umbrellas of this support organization. This list of constituents can be added, updated and decommissioned on this page. Clicking on a constituent name will take you to their configuration page. Additionally, each constituent record shows that organization’s eduroam Administrators. Clicking one of the listed eduroam Administrator names brings you to the 'Manage eduroam Administrators' section of that organization where you can view the roster and add/remove any users.
- All Realms - this section shows all realms for all constituents within the Support Organization. Realms that are unique DNS names are ready for use once they are submitted and no longer need to be approved by an eduroam Support Organization Administrator. When a constituent adds a realm, all of the constituent's eduroam Administrators and the Support Organization's eduroam Support Organization Administrators will receive an email noting the addition of the realm.
If an eduroam Support Organization Admin clicks the constituent name in the eduroam Constituents section they will be taken to the constituent's configuration page. If the Edit button is clicked the information for the constituent can be changed. If the Add button is clicked and new constituent can be added.
