Student User Bridge
Automated Identity Management for NZ Schools
For years, New Zealand schools have relied on a manual process for managing student digital identities: exporting spreadsheets from the Student Management System (SMS), painstakingly formatting data, and manually uploading it to Google, Microsoft, and Apple. This ‘old way’ is not just time-consuming; it carries significant hidden costs and risks.
The Cost
Every hour a Tech Teacher or administrator spends on manual data entry is an hour not spent on classroom planning or supporting students and staff. When you factor in the time spent correcting errors, handling password reset tickets, and performing year-end cleanups, the cost in staff hours becomes substantial. This is the "Total Cost of Ownership" that spreadsheets don't show.
The Risk
Manual data entry is prone to human error. A single typo can deny a student access, while incorrectly assigned permissions can create a serious data privacy breach. In an environment where schools are custodians of sensitive student information, these manual processes represent an ongoing and unnecessary security risk.
The SUB Way: Secure, Automated, and Effortless
Student User Bridge eliminates these costs and risks entirely. Our platform acts as a secure and intelligent bridge between your SMS and your core digital platforms. It runs quietly in the background, ensuring data is always accurate, access is always correct, and your team's time is always respected.
How it Works
We make the complex simple. Our process is designed to be seamless and non-disruptive.
1. Securely Connects to Your SMS
SUB syncs directly and securely with your school's Student Management System (e.g. KAMAR or Hero) via API or a scheduled CSV upload from a secure location within your own cloud environment.
2. Automates User Lifecycles
Based on your enrolment data, our engine automatically creates, updates, archives, and deletes user accounts in Google Workspace, Microsoft 356, and Apple School Manager. When a student leaves, their account is handled according to your school's policy, closing potential security gaps.
3. Manages Groups and Access Intelligently.
The platform automatically manages memberships for class groups, year levels, and custom Organisational Units. As timetables change, SUB ensures students and teachers are moved to the correct digital groups, so access rights are always up to date without any manual intervention.
