      The School Passport AppStore module allows District Admins, who are administrators of education organizations, to easily access various educational services using single sign-on (SSO). It also provides the ability to use provisioning, facilitate communication and collaboration, and promote knowledge exchange.

      Overview 

      The AppStore complies with Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) requirements for privacy and security. This means that users can trust that their personal information and data are protected when using the AppStore. The School Passport AppStore offers a range of key features, including:

      • Single Sign-On access to web applications, mobile applications, online courses, digital resources, software tools, and other platforms that leverage a growing library SSO Connectors to the most widely used, web-enabled educational services.
      • Automated service provisioning, using Administrator-defined, role-based policies either on demand or in bulk via the Admin Console.
      • Real-time integration and improved organizational performance for mission-critical applications such as SIS, LMS, and LDAP.
      • Allow students, staff, and parents to communicate, collaborate, publish, and exchange knowledge, resources, and services.
      • Support rapid deployment and next-generation authentication methods.
      • Scalable from ten users to millions of users.
