K12 Accounts

In some cases, an institution on Zephyr may qualify as a "K12" institution, an institution where the students are generally considered under the age of 18. This feature was introduced to the platform as a way to maintain COPPA compliance.

If an institution is marked as K12, the students that register under that institution will be flagged as a "K12 Student."

K12 students will have limited access to features on the Zephyr site to safeguard the student against services that have been deemed inappropriate for their age.

Password Rotation Policies

Some institution policies require a password rotation mandate for their users. Zephyr allows an institution-wide password rotation policy to be set for all users that belong to the institution.

Rotation Options are Not Required, 90, 180, and 365 days.

In cases where a user belongs to two institutions with password rotation policies, the institution with the stricter policy will be used.

For example, if a user belongs to one institution with a 90 day rotation policy and another institution with a 365 day rotation policy, the 90 day rotation policy will be used.
