For IT teams

Enable Studid at your institution

Someone at your institution wants to confirm their affiliation on a website that uses Studid. Studid checks it through your institution's single sign-on. If your institution signs in through a federation hub, the hub connects Studid once you ask for it. This page has everything you need.

Your institution runs its own identity provider?

Then Studid usually works already through eduGAIN. If your attribute release policy is restrictive, releasing eduPersonScopedAffiliation and a pairwise identifier to https://studid.io/shibboleth is all it needs.
