Step 1: SchoolTool API Set Up:
Below is the initial API configuration screen found in Maintenance -> API Security. Your screen may be a little different.
You will need to add ClassLink as a vendor, assign a token and add the IP address. For the IP address, enter ALL or ANY.
Next, allow access to the following files (you may have them named differently):
- School
- Staff
- Student
- Classes (Course and Class Section)
- Student Roster
- Additional Teachers
In the SchoolTool Configuration Page, just complete last section (indicated below in RED)
Check the box to enable the API, and enter a password in the Authentication Token box.
Step 2: Connection to ClassLink Roster Server
Log into ClassLink, click on your Roster Server app (or click on your ClassLink Management Console app, then click on “Roster Server” from the left frame). You can also access the Roster Server Console by logging in through https://console.oneroster.com.

Enter your SchoolTool URL and the token you created.
Click “SAVE” in the bottom right corner.
