1. Inc Custom Forms in "Restrict Building Clearance"

   When setting up a Web HR security group there is an option to Restrict Building Clearance. These restrictions apply to Employee Profile Employee Browse and Employee Data Mining. I would like it to also include Custom Forms. Currently if I activate WH\EP\CF for a group they can see the custom forms for anyone in the district. I realize that staff can access Custom Forms from Employee Profile but the full Custom Forms area is more useful for an Office Manager or Admin someone who might need to see which staff have a specific custom form. See attached screen shots.
   From this view Building isn't a field displayed. So first perhaps this field could be displayed and then used to restrict access by building clearance.

   This enhancement became available in the 05.19.06.00.01 release. Thank you!

2. Add Two Factor Auth (2FA) options

   This enhancement would significantly increase the level of security for our Skyward Finance system by adding another level of security which would require something the user has ( not just userid and password ) before they would be allowed to logon. Based on the current types of attacks against systems and seeing that Skyward runs our payroll account payable and has all the information about employees (including SSN) adding 2FA would significantly reduce the risk of access from the outside because of a stolen password/user id.
   
   To give maximum flexibility this should be a security level added to the user. For example we might only turn this on for payroll but not for all staff. Then based on the fact that they are a member of this group a simple SAML request could be made from Skyward for a 2FA. This would allow the District to use any number SAML based 2FA systems to provide the service without having to build this directly into skyward and District could then use DUO Google or any other number of other 2FA systems which support SAML.

   Skyward is releasing a native Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) option for users that use Skyward credentials to log in. This will be available in Addendum 09, available on May 23rd, 2024.

   
   

   Single Sign-On Configuration has been relabeled to Authentication Configuration in the following system locations:

   • Product      Setup > Skyward Contact Access > District Setup > Configuration
   • Product      Setup > Skyward Contact Access > Security > Product Setup >      Configuration
   • Product      Setup > Skyward Contact Access > Security > Security Groups >      Web Product Setup

   
   

   A “Require MFA” option and associated column has been added to the following system locations:

   • Product      Setup > Skyward Contact Access > Security > Users > Employee      Access
   • Product      Setup > Skyward Contact Access > Security > Users > Secured
   • Web      Student Management > Families > Family Access > Users
   • Web      Student Management > Students > Student Access > Users

   
   

   Users required to use native MFA will be prompted to set up MFA upon login. Users who have MFA enabled will need to re-authenticate per “Days to Expiration” settings. Logging out and signing back in within the trusted time period will not require the user to re-authenticate. However, if enough time has passed for trust to expire or the user removes their trusted device using the “Remove Device” button, they will be prompted to re-authenticate.

   
   

   We will be rolling out these changes in 3 phases so keep an eye out for more updates through email!

   
   

   Thank you,

   Erik O.
