The Sakai CLE includes the full set of Open Source Portfolio (OSP) tools. Portfolio tools allow students to create rich, multi-media presentations of their work to and share these with designated audiences within inside and outside the system. Other tools allow faculty to build educational scaffolds to assist students in reflecting upon and presenting evidence of learning in relation to course, department, extracurricular or institutional objectivesstandards, criteria or goals. A rich set of data artifacts and templates for collecting student artifacts and facilitating reflection upon them is included. Relatively new Goal Management and Reporting tools rounds out the arsenal, allowing anyone at an institution to define a set of goals, map goals to established criteria or ratings , and track student performance based on submission of assignments or other data artifacts associated with these goals. Reporting capability allows institutions to analyze progress and align pedagogical practices with organizational mission.

A rich authorization schema provides for unparelled levels of flexibility surrounding course authorization.

Each institution may define a unique set of roles and permission structures that support the necessary configuration of that institution.Sakai is unique in its blending of public and private access to content in the system. Visitors to a Sakai instance may use Search capability on the Gateway site to search for course or project sites in the system. Site owners may choose to make a variety of different content on their site visible from this Gateway search, allowing them to give partial access to items such as announcements, resources, syllabus entries, etc. especially useful in the case of waitlisted students, students searching for information on a course, or collaborators who wish to share research results publicly without adding outsiders to their site. Sites may also be made publicly joinable at the discretion of their owners. Joinable sites may be joined by anyone with a userid in the system.

There are several methods available for integration with an SIS system. The native course management api CM API provides a batch synchronization process that imports course management data into the CLE from an institution's SIS system. It supports auto provisioning of enrollments, site memberships and section membership and allows course administrators to create sites as needed by assigning available rosters to a site. The CM API supports:
* Course management membership roles and/or enrollment statuses are converted to Sakai roles using a role resolver configuration file stored in the system directory
* Automatic assignment of TAs to sections reflected in SIS data via Section tool
* Ability to search on student name and id via Sections tool
* Automatic management of sections & memberships for official registrants in courses via Sections tool
* Manual option of creating sections and memberships
* Student sign-up and switching of sections
* Course administrators to create sites as needed by assigning available rosters to a site
* Instructors and/or TAs to create their own sites and sections at will
A light weight alternative is available for integration with student registration data. This mechanism offers batch creation of sites, users, enrollments and sections.
Registration Information is available from within the system via two tools: Roster and Profile: Roster Tool: Provides Profile.
The Roster tool provides a list of all users in the a site, a link to an individual user's profile, a picture the user has made available to all users, and an official photo ID for use by the administrative users of the site. The Roster tool now uses a new API to manage privacy.Profile Tool: The profile
The Profile tool allows a user to enter or choose to display public and personal information, including a university ID picture if available. The profile tool can have university provided or individually provided self-reported information about any user in the system. It can be edited, restricted/opened/hidden and can include personal images or institutionally provided images. The user may choose whether this information is public or private. The Profile tool now includes a new privacy management feature, which allows users to hide portions of their personal data contained in their profile.
Users who have logged into the application system may search for another user's profile using this tool to obtain and may view any information that a another user has chosen to make public.
