All queries regarding access to UTORauth resources should be directed towards utorauth@utoronto.ca, In your email, please be sure to include a one or two paragraph description of the service you will be providing.
Does UTORauth decide who has access to the data?

I’m going to be building my database from the UTORable LDAP directory. Is there an appropriate time of day to do this?
No. If you are planning on having a local copy of the data you receive from UTORauth, please consider setting up a batch feed. These are created daily and significantly reduce the load on the LDAP server.
