Note: ● Only district administrators (and school administrators for independent schools) can set up single sign on (SSO) connections. School administrators are not allowed to set up SSO connections and do not see the Global SSO Settings area or see the Add gSuite, Add OpenID, or Add SAML buttons on this page.
● SSO is not available for NWEA at this time. |
This page allows you to define how you want your users to log in to our products. Many districts may choose to set up single sign on (SSO) connections, which district administrators can set up here.
We support any of the following SSO options:
● Google Workspace SSO
● OpenID Connect (OIDC)
● SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language)
If you do not set up SSO, your end users can log in to the platforms using the username/password values you provide in the import or defined on this page.
If your preferred authentication method is not
listed, our integration partners ClassLink and Clever have options around
their service that work with our system. For more information about features
and pricing, visit the ClassLink website or see the Clever
to download instructions.
Note:
– Simple File Format (SFF) users: You are required to use the default {username} field.
– ClassLink or OneRoster users: We strongly recommend that you use single sign on (SSO) or consult with your data provider about supplying data in the password field. If you do not do SSO or do not populate this field, we will autogenerate a password. Teachers will be able to change their password using the registration email OR the “Forgot your Password” option. However, teachers will need to manually change the password for all students in their class to begin digital use. For these reasons, we recommend using SSO or populating the password data field.
– This page only sets values to Ed/Flight, TC, and HMO. It does not apply to NWEA because NWEA has the user's email as their username.
