330: Linking to Systems Outside of COmanage

One of COmanage’s superpowers is in linking the registered people to their representations in your other systems. These systems include both “inbound systems”, or “systems of record” as well as “outbound systems” or “provisioned systems”. In this lesson you will learn how COmanage interprets systems of records as sources and links them to the registered people. You will also learn how COmanage shares information about registered people with systems so that these systems can make decisions about the rights and access privileges the person has.
