SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is an open standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, particularly between an identity provider and a service provider.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Edlink suports Single Sign-On (SSO) via SAML. This provides seamless access to connected platforms for schools by allowing user to login with their SAML credentials.
Rostering
The SAML standard does not inherently support rostering data of any kind. Providers that implement SAML may support rostering, depending on their own features.
Managing Coursework and Grades
The SAML standard does not inherently support any management of coursework or grade passback. Providers that implement SAML may support coursework, depending on their own features.
