Master Data Management @ UMD

Announcements

About MDM

The Master Data Management initiative at the University of Maryland is intended to clean and blend data from various data silos into a single best (or "golden") record for each relevant entity. The first domain selected is to clean and blend person information from SIS and PHR into a best person record for each unique person. The primary tools used by the project are Informatica Master Data Management ("MDM" or "MDM 360") and Informatica Data Quality ("IDQ").

  • I understand that "Unit Record Data" (URD) is specific, granular data that can be used to identify individuals and information about them, among other things. This information is clearly sensitive, often confidential, and is protected by federal, state, and local laws, including FERPA. It is only provided to employees when needed for completing legitimate job-related responsibilities.
  • I will participate in training and re-training related to URD as required.
  • I will use URD for the sole purpose of fulfilling legitimate job-related responsibilities, and not for academic research, scholarly publications, or other uses.
  • I will protect URD by storing it securely, accessing it securely and preventing unauthorized access, limiting or eliminating sharing, and deleting all copies upon completion of the relevant activity or at the expiration/termination of my access permissions.
  • I will not share any findings outside the University of Maryland without prior approval of the Senior Vice President and Provost or designee.
  • I understand that, as a result of unauthorized access or use of URD that I am responsible for, I may be subject to access restrictions and/or disciplinary procedures in accordance with university procedure.
  • I also affirm that I have read and understand the following policies and provisions:

Troubleshooting & Support

VPN & log-in

  • You will need to be connected to the UMAccess-MFA group in the VPN tool to log into the system
  • If you do not reach a log-in page at all, it is most likely a VPN issue
    • Confirm that you are logged in to the VPN tool (Cisco AnyConnect)
    • Confirm that you are logged-in the right VPN group (UMaccess-MFA)
  • Your "Second Password" is either
    • The word “push” (this will push a DUO request to your phone)
    • Or enter the numerical code from your DUO token
  • If these instructions do not work
    • See this VPN Connection Instructions help article for more information
    • If you still cannot log-in, please email mdmsupport@umd.edu
    • It is possible that you need to be added to a particular VPN permission group and/or other configuration changes may be required
  • If you see a log-in screen, but you cannot log-in with your UMD Directory ID & Password, it is most likely an account issue. If you believe you already have an account, email mdmsupport@umd.edu
