On Sunday, May 14, 2023, IT Services will implement a new Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) solution.


Queen's current IGA solution, known as the NetID Profile Manager, has reached end-of-life. Queen's new IGA solution, the Queen’s Identity Platform, will replace the NetID Profile Manager to ensure our users' data remains protected and to provide a streamlined user experience.


What does this mean for me?


The NetID Profile Manager will be unavailable on Sunday, May 14 for approximately 12 hours, beginning at noon.
