1. Up to date tab files required for identity management and Google NSIX accounts

It is important that we ensure that our identity management system (IDM) is up to date. From a GDPR point of view we need to ensure the data we hold is accurate and up to date and that we only hold data that we still need to hold for a designated and agreed purpose. 

We can see that some schools have not returned a new set of staff and pupil tab files for some time.  It is important that we receive tab files regularly, every time there is a change in your staff or pupil records and at least once a month.

If your school has NSIX accounts and you send in tab files via Anycomms to provision these accounts then please can we ask that you send us a new set of tab files as soon as possible. If we do not receive up to date tab files we will have to begin the process of suspending Google NSIX accounts for your school.  

If you no longer require your Google NSIX accounts then please let us know.

 

For full details of what data is required and the format of the tab files, please consult the following pages on our website:
