A Federated Account with the Jisc Community allows a user to have superior privileges compared to a non-Federated Account. Federated users have complete control over their own content; in addition to creating posts, the user is also able to publish and delete them without the need for external moderation. Federated users are not able to edit, publish, or delete any other user's content.
A Non-federated Jisc Community account allows a user to create posts and delete their own unpublished posts.  Their posts require moderation by users with higher privileges before they are visible to the Jisc Community. A non-federated user is not allowed to publish their posts themselves or delete their posts once they have been published.
How to Login Most users should normally log into the Jisc Community website using their Institutional Login. You can do this by clicking on the Blue ‘Login’ button on the bar at the top of every page. You will then see an "Institutional Login" button.  Type the name of your institution into the box, and select from the list as you start typing. Note that if your organisation is not listed in the list then you will need to log in through non-federated login, “with your Jisc credentials”.
How to Register When registering for a Jisc Community Account you will first need to let us know which institution you are a member of. If your institution supports Federated Login through the UK Federation, you will be given the option to use these credentials to login. We strongly recommend you use your Institution’s federated login if it is available to you – What is Institutional (Federated) Login? Federated Login
