description: The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) operates an internal developer portal that exposes APIs for the
  institution's information systems. The MIT developer environment publishes APIs such as the Roles API for managing institutional
  roles and authorizations. Access to the developer portal and most APIs requires MIT authentication via Shibboleth / Touchstone
  single sign-on, making the catalog primarily available to community members, partners, and authorized integrators rather
  than to the general public.

    and authorized integrators to query, manage, and synchronize roles assigned to people and groups across MIT systems. The
    Roles API is published through MIT's developer portal and is gated behind MIT Touchstone / Shibboleth authentication.
