Large research facilities, such as the Forschungszentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, provide a scientific work environment for employees, guests and students from all over the world. All these users require access to local and remote facilities, to the scientific equipment and the communication, information and collaboration infrastructure. Nearly all projects currently running are using state of the art web and GRID technologies crossing borders and continents with people joining in and leaving. Managing a dynamic environment like this is a challenging task. This paper describes the concepts and implementation aspects of an Identity Management System (IDM) for a large scale research facility.
