Two Level Authentication
Subject - Two Level Authentication
We would like Skyward to incorporate two level user authentication in each of the following areas (Employee Access/Student Access/Secured Access/NSOE/Skyward Finance/Skyward HR/Skyward Student). We need this authentication to be set up for internal and external users with a configuration for each district to select from the following three options "Internal Only" "External Only" "Both Internal and External" for each area listed above. This is important to school districts since most district's have single sign on (Active Directory Login) and if a user's login is compromised it would allow the person gaining this information to have…

Option to exclude account from timeout setting
We have accounts that are setup for student kiosks in the Clinic and Counselors office. Because of the attendance requirements we have our security setup to automatically log users out after 15 minutes which is also happening to these kiosk accounts. We need an option to exclude them so they don't have to login every 15 minutes.
Log kiosk machines in once and have them stay logged in forever so students can use it to check in. If the nurses & counselors have to go log back into skyward so the student can check in then they might as well…48 votes -
Data Mining Reports posting to Family Access
Security setting in Data Mining reports posting to Family Access. We are requesting a warning and confirmation page when someone runs a data mining report that will get posted to Family Access. Currently if someone is not sure what they are doing they can post information to Family Access without realizing it. This can be done either by them marking Family Access in a data mining report they built or simply by running someone elses data mining report (to see what it is pulling) and not realizing the report is set to print on family access. It would be nice…

Add security to disable Teacher Scorecard
I have turned on the Teacher Scorecard feature. I have also enabled the Class Information link for office staff to view class rosters when clicking the Class Information Link from the Student Profile > Current Scheduling tab. I have only given permission to view the Class Roster. However the Teacher Scorecard displays as well which I don't want them to view. Security allows you to control many options of the Class Summary: Gradebook Lesson Scheduler Class Summary and Curriculum Map but not the Teacher Scorecard. Please include Teacher Scorecard as a secured option in WS\OF\CI in order to disable this…

Security for Critical Alerts on Emergency Tab
We would like the security for the Alert Information on the Emergency Information tab to be broken out from the rest of the page. We would like staff to be able to enter emergency information but do NOT want them entering Critical Alerts without prior approval. I would like to be able to separate the 2 to only make it available to a few. Currently that option exists if you are using the path ST/SI/IF/AI.

Schedule to Inactivate a Security User & Staff
Our District would find it very helpful if we had the ability to schedule a date to Inactivate a Secured User and in addition the ability to add a date for making a staff member inactive. We often find a staff member is leaving the District but are given directions for specific dates to inactivate them as staff and as a secured user in both Skyward Student and Finance. It would be very helpful if a date to inactivate could be added within the secured user and staff areas of both Skyward Student and Finance.

Security settings in SkyDoc Tutorials
When giving tutorials or instructions on how to set items up, it would be nice to be given directions that some user securities may need to be changed. For example, when setting up the HGSS, in order for Teachers to enter the scores, their security settings in their security groups need to be changed to allow them access. Currently, there is nothing in the template or directions informing you that security settings may need to be changed, or what settings/path will need to be changed.

Track changes for Secured Users
It would be nice to add the option of tracking changes that are made to a users security.
15 votesThere is the User Security Change Audit report that is found under PS\CA\SE\RE\HR\CH. There are a few other History Reports listed with it as well. Let us know how this works for you!

When creating Staff at entity; have option to go directly to security area to add security for that staff person
When creating a Staff member, a teacher for example, it would be nice to have a box to check to 'Add Security' and upon saving that set up, be taken directly to the Secured User area to that specific staff members account and add their security without having to move out of the Staff area and into the security area and then retype in the staff name and expand to add the security. This could go hand in hand with adding and effective date to start or end security and / or active or inactive status of staff. Definite time…

Ability to remove punctuation from names when creating usernames/emails
On the Automatically Generate Logins and Passwords screens (PS\CA\SE\PS\CF\AU) we need the ability to remove any punctuation and spaces from all name parts (first, last, middle, namekey). Currently we can remove spaces from namekeys but not from first, middle, last, and we can't remove punctuation from any of them.
We are using the "namekey with spaces removed" option for our usernames but currently have a vendor that won't accept emails with apostrophes, such as O'Neil. It would solve a lot of problems if Skyward could remove those when creating the usernames/email addresses.

Single Sign On Mobile App
Please allow a "Sign in with SSO" button on the Skyward Mobile Apps for Android and iOS, so districts with SSO configured can allow that type of security on mobile apps as well as the web.

Limit who can see Social Security Numbers
Our auditors are requesting that we have the ability to limit who has access to student social security numbers for previous students. If a student is no longer active in the system they want us to be able to limit who can see those social security numbers. I know several Florida districts have been asked this this year in our audits this year and have had to state that we will work with Skyward to see if this can be addressed. Within security you can assign users to only see current student SS#'s

Mass Activate / Inactive Security Groups
We inactivate security groups during the time frame after rolling the year and the start of school so that the school personnel can add scheduling information without all the teacher "eyes" viewing their progress. If we could select groups to mass activate and inactive, it would be a huge time saver.

Ability to autogenerate both usernames AND email addresses
When defining the user Login format, if I want it to be an email address, I apparently can NOT also generate email addresses. If Skyward didn't hard-code the '@' sign into the "Automatically Generate Email Addresses" option, then this would not be a problem.
Remove the hard-coded '@' sign from email auto-generation, and also expand the "text" parts to allow for additional character length.

I would like to see more security limits under WS\ST\TB\PR\PR . I don't want them to be able to change student’s names here.
I want our secretaries to be able to update the "General Information" but I don't want them to be able to change the legal "Student Name".
