What is shared between Padlet and a LMS service?
Initial login via LMS
Padlet receives your email address, role on LMS, and (if available) name and username associated with your account on the LMS. If you log into your LMS account using Google or Microsoft, we do not receive your Google/Microsoft password.
If you do not have an existing Padlet account with the same email address: Once details are received from the LMS on the initial login, an account will be automatically provisioned for you within the Padlet for Schools account.
If you do have an existing Padlet account with the same email address: The account role and the user's name will be updated on padlet.com based on the role and name in the LMS.
Subsequent logins via LMS
If your email address on the LMS changes and we are unable to find a corresponding email address, a new Padlet account will be created with your new LMS email address.
Initial login via Padlet
When a LMS user logs into their Padlet for Schools account first, Padlet will try to find a corresponding account with the same email address as the LMS user. If an email is found that matches, we log the user into the Padlet account automatically.
Additional information
Your information is updated based on what is listed within the LMS.
- If you have an existing account in a Padlet for Schools account as a Student, but you hold a Teacher account on your LMS, upon initial login, Padlet will upgrade your role on Padlet for Schools from Student ➡️ Teacher.
- If your name within the LMS is different than your existing account on Padlet, upon initial login, Padlet will update your name on Padlet for Schools to what is listed in the LMS.
