The goal:

To streamline the delegation of user permissions across multiple schools, leveraging SchoolPod (SP) Single Sign-On (SSO) access permissions.

Overview:

We will introduce a streamlined Single Sign-On (SSO) access system in SchoolPod, allowing MAT administrators to create and manage user permissions centrally. Unlike the previous model, where schools granted access to MATs, the new system will reverse this process, giving MAT admins the ability to assign and manage user access levels for schools under their trust. This change will improve operational efficiency, saving time on administrative tasks such as user login creation and permission assignment, while ensuring more consistent control and security across multiple schools.

Key Highlights:

Current Feature: Schools grant permission to MATs (Multi-Academy Trusts).

New Feature: MAT admins will have the authority to assign access permissions to schools under their management.

Permission Levels: MAT admins can set varying permission levels for schools and users within the trust. Access permissions are centrally managed for efficiency.

Customer Benefit(s)

Time Savings: The new process reduces the time spent creating logins.

Centralized Management: Simplifies the permission delegation process by placing control with MAT admins.
