Managing student and staff access to district systems can be complex. Level Data’s Directory Integration Services automate account provisioning and updates, ensuring seamless access to essential tools like Google Workspace, Microsoft Active Directory, and Azure.
What is Directory Integration?
Directory services store and manage login credentials for students and staff, providing access to critical district systems like:
- Windows Computers & Chromebooks
- Email (Outlook, Gmail, etc.)
- Cloud Applications (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, SSO platforms, and more)
Level Data’s automated integration keeps directory accounts up-to-date by syncing data from your Student Information System (SIS) or Human Resources (HR) system.
How It Works
- Automated Sync – The integration checks for new, updated, or inactive accounts based on district rules.
- Runs Every 30 Minutes – Ensuring student and staff data stays current.
- Customizable Business Rules – Aligns with your district’s policies for username formats, passwords, and security groups.
- Writeback Capability – Send key data (usernames, passwords, emails) back to the SIS where supported.
Key Benefits
- Hands-Free Account Management – No more manual account creation or updates.
- Improved Security – Accurate group management and access controls.
- State & District Compliance – Ensures SIS and HR data match directory services.
- Seamless User Experience – Students and staff access the right tools instantly.
- World-Class Support – Unlimited business rule modifications and proactive monitoring.
