Studentnet is pleased to advise that our latest version 37 is now available for release and deployment at schools.


V37 is a major new release delivering significant improvements to our existing account provisioning functionality. Our objective was to increase the visibility of the provisioning configuration to school IT administrators. At the same time we have aimed to increase the control of the provisioning process to those administrators.

Delivering V37 has improved the communication and control architecture between the on premises Cloudwork Identity Node(CwIN) and the Cloudwork Identity Manager(CwIM) located at Studentnet.

Please find below the V37 release notes.

V37 New Features

  • Account Provisioning Sync Profiles can now be created and controlled from the Dashboard
    • display existing data attribute from the management system account source to the network directories and services
    • edit and create new attribute mappings
    • manually execute provisioning process: in read only report and test modes as well as production modes
    • realtime updates to provisioning configuration
    • more flexible scheduling of provisioning processes
  • To create a new Active Directory sync profile follow this breadcrumb: Home>Sync Profiles>New Provisioning Sync Profile

V37 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue affecting changing expired passwords
  • Fixed an issue that occasionally prevented logos and background images loading correctly
  • Improved user experience when editing Attribute Maps for SSO services
  • Changed cookie behaviour to enable Cloudwork to continue to work in iFrames under new browser policies
  • Other bugfixes and improvements
All new implementations of provisioning at schools will be on the V37 architecture. Schools utilising V36 account provisioning will need to schedule an upgrade. To do so please either lodge a support ticket or send an email to support@studentnet.net.

Thank You

Cloudwork V30 & V31 Release Notes

Welcome to Term 2 of the 2019 school year.

 The Studentnet development team has been hard at work releasing two new releases for Cloudwork so far this year being V30 and V31. Our continued aim is to increase your degree of control of your network via new features and user experience improvements in the dashboard. Please find below a brief description of newly available improvements in our V30 and V31 releases.
V30 New Features
  • Deleted User Action has been added to email sync profiles. You can now delete or suspend users that existed in the previous CSV file this profile processed, but is not in this one
  • Added Compromised Password protection settings. It is now possible to prevent users from choosing new passwords that are known to be compromised.

    One of the most common sources of compromised accounts these days is password re-use across different services. The "Have I Been Pwned" project is an enormous aggregation of data collected from data breaches of all stripes. The database currently stands at 551,509,767 real passwords that have been exposed via data breaches, and Cloudwork can now take advantage of this data to help protect our users.

    When a user changes their password through CloudworkID or "I forgot my password", or an administrator changes it for a user through the Cloudwork Dashboard, the compromised passwords check will take the new password and compare it to a list of known compromised passwords, and return an error message informing the user that they have chosen an insecure password. This feature can be turned on or off via the Cloudwork Dashboard, and can be configured to use a threshold, and only reject passwords that show up in the compromised data more often than the configured threshold.
V31 New Features
  • Admin Roles can now be assigned to Groups in addition to being able to assign to individual accounts
  • Bulk Welcome Messages can now be sent to many users(groups, org units, email addresses matching a pattern etc) from the Cloudwork Dashboard
  • CloudworkID settings can now be customised per Org Unit. This includes:
    * CloudworkID Look and Feel settings can be configured per Org Unit
    * CloudworkID enabled features can be configured per Org Unit
  • Compromised Passwords settings can be configured per Org Unit
  • Password Reset email templates can now be customised per Org Unit
  • When uploading a User CSV file, an Org Unit can now be targetted for these uploaded users
User Experience Improvements
  • Reports are now more flexibly filtered when searching by users or events
  • Provisioning Reports can now be filtered by Sync Profile
  • Search form added to SSO Services view
  • Message Templates can now be deleted
  • From address can now be changed in SMS Templates
  • Various bug fixes:
    * Fixed a bug that prevented administrators from uploading new logos and background images
    * Fixed a bug where administrators could enable "send welcome messages" without selecting a message template
If you wish to access any of these new features, your Cloudwork instance will need to be updated to V31. We will be commencing individual instance upgrades starting in May, 2019. To schedule a time for your school's instance upgrade please submit a support ticket or email your request to support@studentnet.id.

 Looking forward to working with you through 2019 - Thank you
