Automatic Student Account Provisioning

Geoffrey Goodfellow

Has anybody had any success with an automated method to provision student accounts in Azure or Google G-Suite based on a student record being created in Core?   We currently use the Google SSO to BBID which has worked very well this past year at allowing students to work within Educational Management seamlessly after authenticating into G-Suite.  However, it still requires us to manually setup an account for them in our Active Directory.  We do have scripts that will take a CSV of information from Core and use it create accounts and assign correct Organizational Units in Active Directory, but I would like something more automatic.  (Plus the script process is one-time and doesn't handle the new students that get added.)  When new students arrive/depart from the student role in Core, I would love for them to automatically arrive/depart from Active Directory as well.


Anybody have experience with this or give me some direction on how to set it up?

Hi Geoffrey, we are looking to do the exact same thing. Have you heard from anyone?

Hi, @Jim Maier. We did end up going with the third-party below. We were already pushing Blackbaud data to Clever, so this they now pick up Clever data and provision accounts in our Active Directory. Has been working well, and the cost was reasonable.
