HelloID is a Cloud Identity & Access Management-as-a-Service (IDaaS) platform that helps organizations manage user identities, authentication, and access securely in the cloud. Edlink's integration with HelloID is a basic OAuth 2.0 integration. As such, HelloID has the same functionality as any other OAuth 2.0 provider.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Edlink suports Single Sign-On (SSO) via helloid using OAuth. This provides seamless access to connected platforms for schools by allowing user to login with their helloid credentials.
Secondary (Enrichment) Source Only
Right now, HelloID can only be used as a secondary source within Edlink. This ensures that authentication is seamlessly layered on top of existing roster data from a primary source.
Email/Person Matching Required
For the HelloID provider to function correctly, the email addresses or usernames provided by the HelloID source must match those in the primary source. If these identifiers do not align, people will not be able to authenticate successfully.
Rostering
Our integration with HelloID does not support rostering data.
Managing Coursework and Grades
We do not support managing coursework and grades with HelloID.
