What population of users can be authenticated using Enterprise Authentication Services?

Does this mean that all of these people will have access to my application?

Every night the Cal Poly identity system retrieves account information from various data feeds such as Human Resources, Student Administration and other sources. This information is used to create new accounts, and disable old accounts.
