Account & Profile

  • User account validation

Good to know!

When you log in to eKool securely (ID card, Smart-ID, Mobile-ID), your eKool account is automatically validated.

 

Validating your eKool user account increases the security of accounts and the protection of user data. To validate your account, click Start validation.

To validate your account, use your Smart-ID, Mobile-ID or ID card by entering either your ID or your ID and phone number into the system, then compare the code generated by eKool with the one there and validate the operation with your PIN.

If the user account has been successfully validated, the eKool will display a message that the Identity has been validated, and the Account & Profile page will display a blue tick mark on the profile picture indicating that the account is a Validated account.

Good to know!

Once your eKool account is validated, you do not need to log in to eKool securely (ID-card, Smart-ID, Mobile-ID) to confirm or deny any consent added by the school.

 

User roles and the link with schools

In the profile administration, the user is shown all his/her roles in the eKool. For example, if a teacher is also a parent, both roles will be displayed in the profile administration, as well as the school from which the roles are assigned. The data will be taken automatically from the eKool system.

Attention!

To validate the phone number and e-mail address, they must be added to the eKool system, after which a 6-digit code is sent to the corresponding contact details, which, when entered into eKool, confirms their validity.
