Identity Security for Education
Automate student and faculty lifecycle management, secure shared computing environments, and enable research collaboration with identity security built for education.
Education Identity Challenges
Student and faculty lifecycle changes create thousands of provisioning events each semester
Automated identity lifecycle synchronized with SIS enrollment and HR systems, handling matriculation, graduation, and role changes seamlessly
Shared lab computers and open campus environments make access control difficult
Device-agnostic identity with session-based access that follows the user, not the workstation, with automatic session cleanup
Research collaborations span multiple institutions with different identity systems
InCommon and eduGAIN federation with attribute-based access for cross-institutional research portals, datasets, and compute resources
LMS and EdTech platforms accumulate stale access for departed students and faculty
Continuous access reconciliation across Canvas, Blackboard, and other LMS platforms with automated deprovisioning on enrollment changes
Key Capabilities
Identity security designed for the open, collaborative nature of educational institutions.
Student Lifecycle Management
Automate identity provisioning from admission through graduation and alumni status. Handle complex transitions like program changes, leave of absence, and re-enrollment.
Shared Workstation Security
Session-based identity for computer labs, library workstations, and classroom devices. Users authenticate once and access follows them across any device on campus.
Research Collaboration
Federated access for multi-institutional research projects. Grant visiting researchers scoped access to datasets, compute clusters, and lab systems with project-bound expiration.
LMS Access Governance
Synchronize Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, and D2L access with enrollment data. Automatically provision course access and remove it when students drop or faculty assignments change.
Multi-Role Identity
Handle users who hold multiple concurrent roles: student-employee, faculty-researcher, staff-student. Merge identity attributes and apply the correct access policies for each context.
EdTech Integration
SSO and provisioning for hundreds of EdTech applications using LTI, SAML, and SCIM. Centralized consent management for student data sharing under FERPA.
Regulatory Compliance
Meet student privacy and data protection requirements with automated compliance.
Student education record access controls with directory information policies, consent tracking, and legitimate educational interest enforcement.
Parental consent management and access controls for K-12 environments where students are under 13 years of age.
Financial aid and student account data protection with access controls for university financial services operations.
Student health center and counseling service data protection with access controls for university healthcare providers.
