- The UK has implemented a Federated Access Management (FAM) system across higher education, further education, and schools to enable single sign-on access to online resources. JISC and Becta jointly fund and manage the FAM infrastructure. - FAM allows institutions to outsource identity and access management to external service providers while still maintaining local control over users and resources. It reduces costs through central negotiation of licenses by JISC Collections and leveraging the collective buying power of UK educational institutions. - Future challenges include improving the user experience, defining service provider interfaces, increasing FAM usage and identity management capabilities, supporting walk-in users, and addressing issues like inter-federation and cost allocation between
