Future developments
Always in motion, the future is.
Some developments under consideration:
● Adding Open ID Connect support in addition to SAML
● Synching users with Azure AD
● Surfacing notifications from across all linked sites
● Additional integratable site types, e.g. Drupal
● xAPI based display to show highlights across the connected sites

Summary
One way to solve multiple-Moodle estates
● Centralises users in one place – one source of truth and no confusion
● Spotlights relevant content like courses or portfolios to drive users to what’s relevant
● Easiest to manage if all your connected sites share codebases, e.g. 1 Moodle codebase for all connected Moodles
