Outlook on the Upcoming Role Design in UCS and UCS@school

Since our last blog article on the future role model, we have made significant progress in transforming the UCS role and rights model. The custom role design, currently under development, is taking shape. In this article, we would like to focus on introducing two promising new components: One of them allows you to evaluate the permissions of a role, while the other is a web module that allows you to create your own roles. Let’s see what else awaits us until the end of the year.

Using the Univention ID Connector to implement federal-state solutions for central user data administration

The provision and maintenance of the schools’ master data are one of the most challenging issues in digital school administration. How do you manage to have complete, up-to-date user data available at any time, in any system, without manual and error-prone maintenance? At Univention, we have taken on this challenge and developed the UCS@school ID Connector to synchronize school identities on several independent UCS@school IDMs.
