CLOUDWORK® IDENTITY MANAGER
Cloudwork is an automated system of identity access management which securely integrates most well-known education applications. Cloudwork also enhances school communities, because it benefits all aspects of school life. See our helpful Guide to Identity Access Management.
1) Build Your School Community with Cloudwork
Cloudwork helps build the school community through identity. Other tools force you to use their imagery. Cloudwork used your logo and branding. Cloudwork lets you display your school’s own proudly-defined identity on our services, building the school community.
2) Get Parent-Friendly Access with Cloudwork
Parent accounts are important in building a school community, but they can sometimes be a demand on support staff. Cloudwork eases that burden by allowing parents to use their own email address as their login username for school portals. It also provides an easy password reset function, so parents can self-manage their own access to school facilities, which also improves their user experience and connection to the school.
3) Fulfil Your Privacy Obligations with Cloudwork
Cloudwork assists schools in meeting their regulatory requirements, as the Australian Privacy Principals are fundamental to its design. The software uses SAML, the open data standard for securely exchanging authentication and authorization data. Cloudwork’s single sign-on capability reduces the risks of accessing online facilities with multiple credentials, and full logging of access data provides schools with legally auditable records in cases of misuse.
4) Control Your Cloud Services with Cloudwork
Cloudwork lets school IT staff maintain control of the many cloud services now in use. Logging data is presented with a convenient graphical interface, so staff know who is using school facilities and in what manner. Cloudwork synchronises identity data from school management systems, accounts, class list groups and shared contacts using international standard formats. Updates are automated but always remain under IT staff control.
