UCS@school information
What is UCS@school?
UCS@school is our modular extension of Univention Corporate Server (UCS) designed specifically for the education sector. It combines centralized Identity & Access Management with comprehensive tools for managing user accounts, devices, and IT services in schools – scalable, secure, and cross-platform.
At its core is Nubus, the central IAM system that enables simple and secure management of user identities, roles, and permissions. The integrated web portal with single sign-on provides teachers, students, and IT administrators with access to all relevant applications and services – regardless of location or device.
Thanks to standardized interfaces and prebuilt connectors, UCS@school integrates seamlessly with existing school software, learning platforms, and cloud services. IT environments can be operated flexibly – on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid setups.
With UCS@school, you can centrally manage your entire school IT infrastructure: from user and permission management to device control and external service integration – efficient, secure, and GDPR-compliant.

- Centralized Identity & Access Management with Nubus

- Integration with school and cloud services via connectors
- Management of devices, roles, and user groups
