Logging into Connected SIMS using Microsoft or Google School accounts

Pre-requisities

For users to log into Connected SIMS using their Microsoft or Google accounts first the school need to add the domain associated to the Google or Microsoft accounts to their list of associated domain. To ensure that personal Social Media accounts are used we perform checks to ensure that only school based accounts are bing used. One of the main checks is to validate that the email address associated with the Google/Microsoft account is associated to the school.

Adding a domain

As a site admin load the preferences tile and then select Site Preferences > Domain

Add in the schools Microsoft or Google domain and click Save.

This process tells SIMS ID that this domain is associated with the school but it doesn't actually allow SIMS ID to access anything or configure anything on the domain. The domains entered here can also be used with advanced features such as username generation and for self-onboarding to Microsoft and Google email federation.

Adding a 3rd Party account

Any user wishing to log in to SIMS Connected via their Google or Microsoft account will need to associate their 3rd party account to their SIMS ID as an alternative log-in. This must be done so that SIMS ID can verify the identity of the 3rd Party Account being used and that it is for the person singing in. The easiest way to do this is to follow the instructions to add a 3rd party account to your SIMS ID
