Customizing the Clever Portal

When your district users log in to your district's unique single sign-on (SSO) Clever Portal URL (format: https://clever.com/in/shortname), they are taken to their Clever Portal. From their Portal, they can click on their associated application icons to access their online learning applications. Depending on your district setup, their applications (apps) may include Clever-integrated district-wide apps, external links to non-integrated apps, apps added by teachers and Saved Passwords apps.

With Saved Passwords applications, you can add apps that are not currently integrated with Clever to your district Portal providing your users with a seamless single-sign on experience! Check out this article to learn more.
