What are SSO apps?

ClassLink has the ability to link you seamlessly to your various web accounts from within ClassLink. This handy feature is called Single Sign-On (SSO) which means you will not have to enter your username and password every time you enter that website. Apps that have single sign-on capabilities can be found in the App Library. They are differentiated by blue SSO banners with the white key.

 

 

To browse and search our Single Sign-On applications, navigate to our App Library (use the + in the top left corner).

 

 

 

Edit Mode

Click on the Edit Mode button in the top right.

 

 

1. Delete apps you've added by hovering over an application and clicking on the red x on the top right of the app.

   Note: Remember that you can only delete apps that you've added. Apps that have been assigned to you must be removed by a ClassLink Administrator.

2. Rearrange apps by dragging them to a different location and dropping them.
3. You can move apps inside a folder by hovering over the folder and dropping the app inside.
4. You can create a folder by hovering one app over another app and dropping it. This will create a new folder with the two apps inside.
5. To rename the folder, click on the folder and then click on the name.
6. To add a new application, select New App and you will be taken to the App Library.
