What advantages does eduGAIN offer for my organisation?

• Opting-in for eduGAIN allows the users of an organization to access services operated worldwide. They can not only access services operated in SURFconext but also services operated by Service Providers all around the world. In particular, university staff members, researchers and students will be able to participate in research projects that use eduGAIN for authenticated access.
• Opting-in a SURFconext service to eduGAIN allows creating access control rules federation-users from all over the world (so not only for users in Dutch higher education).
