Overview

Empower students and staff with easy access

Faculty, staff, and students need quick and easy access to applications and data. At the same time, higher education institutions must safeguard personal information and comply with regulations like the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Higher education institutions have complex user populations where a single staff member may have multiple affiliations. This complexity cannot be safely managed manually.

IDHub's lightning fast identity security reduces cyber risk with automated access as someone joins, changes roles, or leaves and enables convenient fast self-service access requests and password resets.

With IDHub, colleges and universities can control user access to data with an easy-to-use dashboard, ensuring that programmed policies are applied automatically across the institution — even when resources are limited.
