How do I enable Google Apps Single Sign-On for the Parent Portal?

As an option for accessing JumpRope's Student and Parent Portal, if your school uses Google Apps, you can enable single sign-on.  You'll find information about the settings for both the Family Portal (beta) and the Parent Portal 1.0.

Family Portal (beta):

Select "Edit" from the top right and then check the box next to "Enable Portal Google SSO".

For student account Usernames the feature requires some additional setup.  In student accounts, please ensure that all students have a Username set up that matches their Google Apps email address exactly (see here for more information).  Once enabled, send students to the usual Portal link and they will see a "Login with Google Apps" option in addition to any other login options that you have enabled.  PLEASE NOTE: If students are using a shared computer to access the Portal, we highly recommend that they close the entire browser when finished accessing the portal to ensure that the next student cannot gain access to their account.  

Families will use the general JumpRope login page at www.jumpro.pe and can click on the Google SSO button.

Parent Portal 1.0:

Select "Enable Single Sign-On with Google Apps (labs)."  

Make sure that student usernames are identical to their Google App email addresses in the Accounts section as described in the pop-up seen here:

Parent Portal 1.0:

After enabling single sign-on, the portal login page will include a direct link for students and parents to use for login.
