Quick answer

As an Organisation Super Admin, select the settings cog, then FariaOne, and switch on the single sign-on providers you want, such as Google, Microsoft or ManageBac+.

You can easily enable or disable most common Single Sign-On providers by clicking the Settings icon and selecting FariaOne. Please note that you must be an Organisation Super Admin to access the Settings.

  1. Click the settings cog on the top right corner
  2. Click Faria One on the left hand side panel

Once you have enabled SSO, the provider's button will appear on your login page. Users can simply click on their preferred option to log in.

We recommend testing the access yourself before introducing it to your school community

New users must be synced to SchoolsBuddy before they will be able to login with SSO.  The data sync runs every twenty-four hours between 1:00 - 3:00am in the default timezone for the server region (UTC in EMEA, UTC -5 in US, UTC +8 in Asia).

Please note, ManageBac+ single sign-on uses the Faria accounts portal.  Users will not be able to use the accounts portal if they have set a weak ManageBac+ password, they must change their password first.  We recommend administrators disable the setting to allow weak ManageBac+ passwords.
