This article explains how to request Single Sign-On (SSO) for the portal and how Auto Sign-in works with supported third-party websites.
SSO lets users sign in with credentials from another provider, while Auto Sign-in can pass portal credentials through to other connected systems.
⚠️Important: Single Sign-On setup is completed by the Support team. You cannot enable it yourself in the portal.
Set Up Single Sign-On
Your portal can support several Single Sign-On providers so users can sign in with credentials from other systems.
The supported Single Sign-On providers are:
Apple.
Firefly.
Google.
iSAMS.
Microsoft.
OneLogin.
To request Single Sign-On setup:
Raise a new case online.
Reference the title of this article: Set Up Single Sign-On.
In the case, tell Support which Single Sign-On method or methods you want to enable.
Wait for Support to confirm the setup requirements and next steps.
Support will then complete the configuration needed for your chosen provider.
Set Up Auto Sign-in
Auto Sign-in lets users access other websites from inside the portal using their portal credentials.
This feature is supported with a range of third-party partners, including:
Operoo.
SchoolsBuddy.
Evolve.
i-GTM.
School Cloud.
SOCS.
Vectare.
WisePay.
Reach Boarding.
Some schools also use Auto Sign-in with bespoke or additional websites, such as:
School websites.
Sports sites.
Other extracurricular websites.
If you want to explore Auto Sign-in for one of these sites:
Raise a new case online.
Reference the title of this article: Set Up Single Sign-On.
Tell Support which website or partner you want to connect.
Include any documentation or technical details you already have for that provider.
Support can then confirm whether the website can be configured for Auto Sign-in and what information is required.
Understand the Difference Between SSO and Auto Sign-in
Use Single Sign-On when you want users to log in to the portal using credentials from another provider.
Use Auto Sign-in when you want users who are already logged in to the portal to open another website without needing to sign in again separately.
These two features can work together, but they are used for different parts of the login experience.
