Why Modern Schools Need Vsibility, Control, and Simplicity Around IAM

July 14, 2025

The Problem

Today’s schools rely on a growing number of apps—email, HR platforms, learning tools, admin systems—all of which require managing user access. But many schools still rely on spreadsheets, manual processes, or outdated systems to control who gets access to what. This leads to:

  • Limited visibility into app usage and access
  • Slow onboarding and offboarding of staff and substitutes
  • Lingering accounts with access after staff depart
  • Wasted costs from unused licenses and over-provisioning
  • Over-reliance on IT for routine access changes

Why It Matters

Visibility You Can Trust
Without a clear view, you don’t know which users still have access to critical apps—or whether that access is still appropriate. This is a major security and compliance concern, especially for systems that store sensitive data.

Speed & Simplicity for Admins
Schools often need to grant access quickly—for new teachers, part-time staff, or substitutes. With YeshID, these tasks don’t require IT intervention. School administrators can make changes themselves with an easy-to-use interface and simple workflows.

Cost-Effective Access Management
Every unused license is money wasted. YeshID helps schools stay lean by showing which accounts are active and which aren’t—helping you right-size your software spend.

Why YeshID

YeshID is a modern identity and access platform designed to give schools:

  • Clear visibility into who has access to every app, inclusive of shadow applications —no more spreadsheets or guesswork
  • Custom workflows to automate onboarding/offboarding for staff, substitutes, and contractors
  • Role-based access that reflects how your school is actually structured
  • Ease of use, so even non-technical school administrators can manage access confidently
  • Cost controls through smarter provisioning, cleanup, and license management
  • AI-first design that automates repetitive tasks and flags potential risks before they become problems
