What is SSO for? 

Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication process allowing students to access multiple applications or services with a single login credentials. This means that once a student logs in to one application, they can access other connected applications without having to log in again.

Uteach’s SSO integration helps to enhance security, simplify user management, and improve the overall user experience, as it reduces the need for multiple logins.

Integrating Single Sign-On comes with many benefits, including:

• Give students the opportunity to access your Uteach school and other connected applications with a single set of credentials.
• Simplify the login process, reducing the need for multiple usernames and passwords.
• Manage user access and permissions through your identity provider.

How to manage sign-ups and log-ins with Uteach school 

After you integrate Google SSO for your Uteach school, the login process will depend on the particular student. The students can choose to link their Google account with your school. This way, they can log in with Google. 

There are other ways Uteach makes it easier to get your students to log in. You can enable logins via Facebook, Google, and Apple ID. 

To access this feature, follow these steps.

To access the information on your API key and domain, head to your Uteach online school, copy them and insert in your Zapier account.

• Log in to your Uteach account.
• Move to the Settings and Site Settings section.

Below, you can see the Login and Sign-up settings for your Uteach online school. Enable the toggles for the sign-up option you want to enable. 

For example, when you enable login via Facebook, students can see the Facebook icon when entering their account. Consequently, they can click and log in via Facebook without having to create a password for their school account.
