Studentnet Cloudwork V40 Release Notes: Smart ID – API(TASS) & flexible Parent accounts

Studentnet is pleased to advise that our latest version 40 is now available for release and deployment at schools.

V40 is a major release implementing full support for the TASS IdM API plus further improvements to Adobe integration. V40 also introduces the concept of Smart ID that extends the concept of Single Sign On to provide smarter authentication flexibility – great for parents!
