A person's presence in a directory, and consequent ability to authenticate,
must not imply authorization to any particular service.

The vast majority of the people in our directory are "ex-students"; they
are alumni of the University.  Transcript requests and our alumni community
portal are two services offered primarily to this population.  Many
continue to use their e-mail as well.  Some "ex-students" leave for one
reason or another and then return; they need to, among other things, use
their log-in to register for class.
