CMS Identity Store

The CMS Identity Store was created to be the Agency’s one-stop-shop for all things related to identity. In developing this digital storefront, we researched and analyzed how IDM users interact with our current partner pages to streamline those experiences through an enhanced, modernized aesthetic.  IDM’s branding has been updated and can be seen throughout the Identity Store, and we hope to help users understand IDM and the role that the system plays in the Agency’s identity management strategy.

Within the CMS Enterprise, the Identity Store will allow application teams to view what IDM has to offer, learn how they can consume IDM's offerings, locate and download helpful documentation, and find contact information to escalate issues users cannot fix themselves to the correct application help desk. 

This public facing site is available over the open internet for all users.  While the Identity Store will be publicly available, there will be functionalities that require the user to authenticate to access. 

Moving forward, the IDM Team will be building new and innovative functionalities within the Identity Store. We welcome applications and their end users to visit the Identity Store and encourage them to bookmark the URL as their new IDM reference page.
