Single sign-on (SSO) with Google

Setting up Instant Login with Google

Clever single sign-on (SSO) allows students and teachers to log in using their Google credentials. Here's how to set up single sign-on (SSO) with Google:

1. Google email addresses need to be synced to users' "Email" fields in Clever.

• Check in the Data Browser under the "Email" field that a google email address is populated

2. Configure your single sign-on (SSO) settings in the Clever Dashboard:

• Click ‘Portal' on the sidebar and then click on Login Settings.
• Select ‘Google Apps’ as your identity provider.
• Fill in a username hint, password hint, and/or a support contact in case users are having trouble logging in.
• Click 'Save' at the bottom of the screen!

3. Test a user's login credentials. You'll need the Google credentials of a teacher or student that is synced to Clever via the SIS data. To test:

1. Visit your district’s new Portal URL.
2. Sign in with the Google credentials of the teacher/student (must be a Google email address that is synced in Clever).
3. You should be logged in to the Clever Portal!

Please note: Because the credentials are entered only on the Google login page, Clever will never know the usernames and passwords of your users.
