Enabling single sign-on via Clever

The Clever SSO integration allows your students and teachers to automatically join your license by signing in to ThingLink with their Clever account.

How to set up the integration

You will need:

• Admin access to your ThingLink organizational account
• Your Clever District ID. You can find your Clever District ID via Clever Dashboard -> Data browser. See this article for more information.

To set up the integration:

1. Sign in to your ThingLink account and open the 'Organization' page.
2. Select the 'Integrations' tab, then click the 'Edit' button next to the 'Clever district ID' row.
3. Enter your Clever District ID and click save.
4. Ask your Clever District admin to add ThingLink to your app dashboard via https://schools.clever.com/applications/add/thinglink or by searching for ThingLink:
5. [Optional] Test the integration using a student or teacher account that has not accessed ThingLink before. Open ThingLink via the app dashboard or by going to thinglink.com/login and selecting Clever.

How the integration works

Whenever a user signs in to ThingLink using their Clever account, ThingLink will set up an account for them and add them to your organizational license. 

The integration will automatically recognize the user's account type and assign a Teacher or Student role to their ThingLink account.

ThingLink will also appear on your District app dashboard:
