Enabling Single Sign-on for Boost

Introduction

Boost allows teachers and students to use single sign-on with their Google and/or Microsoft accounts.

This article will show you how to enable single sign-on and explain the different prerequisites for students and teachers. 

Enabling Single Sign-on

1. Log in to Boost as the Access Coordinator.
2. Click the Admin Hub icon in the top right corner. 
3. Go to the School tab.
4. Tick the users and email providers you would like to enable single sign-on for. 
5. Click Save.

Single Sign-on Prerequisites for Students

Before your students can log in to Boost using single-sign on, they must be registered in the Admin Hub with their Google or Microsoft email address under Students > With Access.

Single Sign-on Prerequisites for Teachers

Before your teachers can log in to Boost using single sign-on, they must be registered under Teachers > With Access. However, their email address can be different from their Google or Microsoft address. 

If this is the case, then the teachers will need to log in to Boost, click the Admin Hub icon in the top right corner, and then select My Account from the drop-down menu, also in the top right corner. They will then have the option to set up the link to Google or Microsoft themselves, depending on the options selected by the Access Coordinator in the School tab.
