For providers who use Cohort Go products and services via the Cohort Go platform, to eliminate the needs for your users to login specifically to the Cohort Go platform, we offer a Single Sign On option which utilizes your organisation's central user directory. Cohort Go is compatible with any SAML-compliant directory server, including Microsoft Active Directory.
For further details to achieve this, please check out the Single Sign on Guide.
For providers who use Cohort Go Agent Management services and would like to frequently import student and their enrolment data from your own system to Cohort Go, we offer a SFTP access for delivering files automatically from your internal systems to us.
Our Technical Product Support Analyst will help to configure the data import template as a prerequisite step during the onboarding and implementation phase with you.
Once the data import template is configured, you can follow the Uploading data via SFTP Guide to configure and connect to our designated SFTP server to automatically upload the data to your Cohort Go portal based on the data files you added to the SFTP server.
