Advantages

One interface for all cloud services

With SURFconext, you arrange access to different services with one link instead of a separate link per service.

Safe and easy

Users can securely and easily access cloud services with one account, that of the institution (single sign-on).

Privacy-friendly

SURFconext transfers only the personal data that is really necessary to the service provider.

Also for own services

As an institution, you can make your own services easily accessible to your own staff and students, and those of other institutions.

Understanding appointments

As an institution, you always have clear insight into agreements with service providers.

Additional functionalities

SURFconext Dashboard

The SURFconext Dash board shows which cloud services are linked to SURFconext and which ones your institution uses. The dashboard also allows you to activate new services.

SURFconext Invite

With SURFconext Invite, staff and students at your institution can easily set up a collaboration group with other users from different institutions. This is useful, for example, if this group wants to use a number of applications together, for example a wiki.

SURFconext Authorisation Rules

SURFconext Authorisation Rules are used to restrict access to services to a specific group. For example, you use attributes for this purpose.

SURFconext API Security

SURFconext API Security allows you to share data such as student grades safely with APIs of other institutions or mobile apps.
