IAM for Higher Education
Secure, seamless access from enrollment to graduation.
With multiple user roles, a range of applications to manage, and constantly changing access requirements, identity and access management has a crucial role to play in secure and smooth operations at your educational institution.
The smartest way to manage user access in higher education, every time
Students of different departments, years, and specializations, faculty, administrators, and even alumni - your institution needs to securely and efficiently manage users across each of these unique roles.
Your environment involves constant changes in roles as students take new programs, move up a year, or graduate from the institute. Akku simplifies the process of managing this flux with a secure and flexible user directory to manage user accounts and roles, and a powerful, automated provisioning and deprovisioning engine that enables one-click assignment of access permissions.
Equip yourself for growth in student volume and complexity of roles with Akku's Cloud Directory and User Lifecycle Manager.
One-click access control with role-based automation
Your higher-ed institution deals with a host of applications - from learning management systems to collaboration tools and even student, alumni and faculty portals. By bringing all of these applications onto a single platform, you eliminate the need for your users to set and remember multiple passwords, or to log in separately to each app.
And when you're dealing with large number of users, a manual administrative process to set the right permissions becomes tedious or even unviable. Whether it's for students or faculty - all the way from provisioning at entry to deprovisioning at exit - Akku allows you to set access permissions for users or user roles to enable smooth admin operations.
Provide convenient, secure access for your users, even while giving your admins granular control over permissions with Akku's SSO & Cloud Directory and User Lifecycle Manager.
