If you are tired of asking your users to create yet another account at yet another site, fret not! Padlet has something for you that is convenient as well as secure.

Enabling third-party login, otherwise known as single sign-on (SSO), is a secure and easy way to give access to your account. You can use your existing credentials with Google, Microsoft or ClassLink by turning on third-party login for Padlet for Schools.

If you are interested in SAML SSO, please refer to this article.

Only the owner of your Padlet for Schools account can enable third-party login.

Enable third-party login

  1. To enable third-party login, log into your Padlet for Schools Owner account.
  2. From the dashboard, click on the Settings cog icon in the top-right corner > select the school account (at the top) > Access.
  3. Under 'Log in options,' choose which options you'd prefer to offer the members of your account. Choose as many options as you'd like - between the traditional email and password or one of our SSO options.

Once you've made your choices, your login page will include SSO!

If students/teachers have different email domains than the owner's email domain, please contact Customer Support so we can help!

Create accounts automatically

If your account already has approved domains, verified users with those email domains are added automatically when they log in on your school's login page.

Approved domains are only available for school accounts that already have them. Accounts without an approved domain can't add one, and new accounts won't see the option. To add users, share an invite link, add them by email, or upload a CSV file.

FAQs

Do students need to sign in differently now?
No. Changes to automatic enrollment don't affect how anyone signs in. Verified users with an email matching your approved domains are still added to your school account automatically. To add anyone else, share an invite link, add them by email, or upload a CSV file.
