This article is intended for IT administrators with SCP in Australia and New Zealand.

What is Student Auto Enrolment?

When a student logs onto your school network, Student Auto Enrolment (SAE) eases the process of getting the Connect agent or extension enrolled and activated on their device. SAE uses a School Manager login event to link the student and device to the parent's Family Zone account, removing the need for a student username and password to be entered into Connect. The enrolment is handled automatically with the School Community Platform (SCP) and avoids additional work by an IT administrator.

Student Auto Enrolment can be deployed to your entire school at the same time using a direct cutover implementation or controlled with a phased implementation with the aid of deployment software.

Warning

Student Auto Enrolment is not available for iOS devices.

Filter Behaviour

User Location	Behaviour
During school hours, on-network	While at school and on-network, a student will be filtered by School Manager rules. The School Manager Appliance will perform this filtering. The Connect agent will perform no filtering.
At school, off-network	If a student connects to a hotspot or other Wi-Fi network during school hours after Connect is installed and enrolled, your school’s filtering policy (specified in School Community Platform) will be enforced.
Outside of school hours, any network	Outside of school hours, there will be no filtering on the device if the parent has not activated their Family Zone account. A parent can opt to activate their Family Zone account, which allows them to customise the filtering restrictions.
