Global Identifier
Global Identifier (Global ID) supports the new identity attribute of PowerSchool SIS as a SAML identity provider. The field only displays if the PowerSchool SIS is set up as a SAML identity provider and the field functions the same as state-id and psguid. If a district wants to update to the new identity attribute, then a value, unique identifier, or email is required. Additionally, username and password fields are required. Leaving these fields blank will generate an unusable username and password. If a district wants to continue using their current identity attribute, then the Global ID field should be left blank. The Global ID appears on the following pages depending upon the user type:
| User | Description |
|---|---|
| Contact | If the Global Identifier field appears on the Contact Details page, be sure to enter content in the Username and New Password fields. Leaving these fields blank will generate an unusable username and password. |
| Student | If the Student Global Identifier field appears on the Access Accounts page, be sure to enter content in the Student Username and Student Password fields. Leaving these fields blank will generate an unusable username and password. |
| Teacher Staff | If the Identity Provider Global ID field appears on the Security Settings page, be sure to enter content in the Admin Username and Admin Password fields. Leaving these fields blank will generate an unusable username and password. |
