SLC Security

Security Key Points

• The district (LEA) owns data and grants permissions.• Sandbox: you control district and school access.

• Production: district controls a.) entity access and b.) read/write permissions.

• SLC provides a SSO experience to the district’s LDAP identity store (the SLC does not have passwords).

• SLC sandbox provides sample identity store; SLC production assume user already logged in.

• Teachers will have access to sections, classes and students they have a data relationship with

What’s Next?

Case #1: Whole Student View Case

23

When teachers can see a student’s full biographical and performance history, they’ve got a serious head start toward understanding what each student needs. But when records are inaccurate, incomplete, or don’t follow students when they move, that complete picture is hidden. Educators want applications that enable them to see and use comprehensive student information so classrooms feel more personal from day one.
