Configure SAML Inline Authentication for Schoolnet

Once you have configured the Event API, you can then configure SAML inline authentication allowing users to sign directly into Schoolnet without using the SSO link within PowerSchool. For example, if an administrator bookmarks their My Schoolnet page and SAML Inline Authentication is configured, when the administrator clicks their bookmark, they will be able to sign directly into Schoolnet.

  1. Navigate to the Plugin Configuration page. 
  2. Click Schoolnet
  3. Click SAML Inline Authentication
  4. Use the following table to enter information:

    Select the checkbox for each user type that you want to allow SSO authentication. Otherwise, leave blank.
