The problem it solves

From password chaos to one secure login

The challenge

  • Teachers and students juggle dozens of separate logins.
  • IT staff manually create accounts across systems for every new user.
  • Roster changes — transfers, enrollments — take days to propagate.
  • Former students and staff keep access long after they leave.

The solution

  • One login grants access to every Edunation app and connected third-party tool.
  • Accounts are auto-created the moment users are added to SIS.
  • Roster changes sync across all apps within minutes.
  • Access is auto-revoked on graduation or contract end.
How it works

Three steps to day-one access

  1. 1

    Authenticate

    Sign in once via the school's identity provider — Google, Microsoft, ClassLink, or a custom SAML/OIDC provider.

  2. 2

    Provision

    Connect syncs rosters, staff assignments, and group memberships from SIS into every connected app.

  3. 3

    Access

    Instant, secure access to all apps — no separate logins, no password resets at scale.

Use cases

Where Connect earns its keep

Day-one access for new students

A student added to SIS is provisioned across every app before their first class — no waiting on IT tickets.

Mid-year transfers

Move a student between sections or campuses and their access follows automatically, the same day.

Staff onboarding

New hires get exactly the access their role requires, with MFA enforced from the first login.

End-of-year cleanup

Graduating cohorts and departing staff lose access automatically — no orphaned accounts left behind.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Which identity providers does Connect support?

Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 / Entra ID, and ClassLink out of the box, plus any provider that speaks SAML 2.0 or OpenID Connect (OIDC).

How quickly are new users provisioned?

Accounts are created automatically the moment a user is added to your SIS, and roster changes typically sync across connected apps within minutes.

What happens to access when a student or staff member leaves?

Access is revoked automatically on graduation or contract end — no orphaned accounts left behind for someone to clean up later.

Is Connect compatible with our existing SIS?

Connect reads identity and roster data from EdunationOS SIS and can bridge to external systems through standard SAML/OIDC and connector interfaces.

How is our data secured?

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, protected by multi-factor authentication and role-based access control, with full audit logs — aligned with COPPA, FERPA, and GDPR.

Can Connect handle multiple campuses with different rules?

Yes. Connect is multi-tenant: each campus can carry its own roster, roles, and identity configuration within a single deployment.

Can we connect tools that aren't part of Edunation?

Yes — any third-party application that supports SAML 2.0 or OIDC can sit behind the same single sign-on.
