Abstract
A web authorization attribute management system permits delegating web service authorization to persons throughout the university. Some authorized services include, viewing of students grades, accessing commercial software, accessing library external databases from off campus, sending bulk electronic mail to a "dynamic" list of persons, classes, school faculty etc. This authorization is built on a NetID (Network Identifier) authentication available to every member of the university community. Much management of network accounts is delegated to schools.
