What is IAM in education?

More and more schools are facing the same challenge: you need to work digitally secure, but no one knows exactly if it is "good enough".

Identity and Access Management (IAM) is the set of processes that manages who has access to which systems, and why. In education, this is challenging because staff work across many schools, often at multiple locations simultaneously, and because the inflow and outflow are continuous.

Properly managed IAM means that creating, modifying and revoking accounts is automatic and auditable.

How Joinly helps

Joinly works as a control and automation layer on top of Microsoft Entra ID or Google Workspace, powered by your HR system.

Where schools often get stuck

HR-driven provisioning

We link your HR system to the work environment, ensuring that:

  • accounts are automatically created upon onboarding

  • access is immediately blocked upon offboarding

  • a change in role automatically leads to the correct access

Manual account creation and offboarding, done slightly differently for each school.

Role and access governance

Roles linked to job title and to school or location

  • teacher, internal coordinator, caretaker and headteacher each have the correct profile

  • transparent translation from role to permissions

No central role structure (RBAC); fragmented management, leaving the board without an overview.

Logging & Compliance reporting

we collect and structure provisioning logs, audit trails and exception reports

  • access and changes are transparent for audits and incident response

  • compliance with the standards framework is demonstrable

Limited capabilities to log and account for access.

SCIM & application integrations

employees automatically provisioned to education and business operations applications

  • no silos outside the central working environment

  • complete control over access

Standalone applications without integration with HR or the authorisation process.
