ClassLink Single Sign-On

ClassLink Single Sign-On (SSO) allows users to log into PASCO Portal via the ClassLink login portal, using a single set of credentials. ClassLink SSO simplifies user authentication, enhances security, and enables centralized user management.

  1. Submit an offline request to ClassLink to create a Roster Service account for your district or college.

  2. Once the Roster Server is set up, sign in to the Roster Server.

  3. Select Imports (1) from the navigation menu, then select the Edit icon (2).

  4. In the Files page, open the Daily Import tab and select DOWNLOAD ALL to download the required CSV templates.

  5. Fill in the CSV templates accurately, then select UPLOAD in the Daily Import tab to upload the populated CSV files and import users.

  6. Select Apps from the navigation menu.

  7. Search for the "PASCO Portal" app in the application library.

  8. Select + Add for Portal and set the permissions level to "Full Permissions".

    Note

    Sharing rules are configured in the Roster Server. The PASCO Portal Admin will contact your organization and ask them to set up the sharing rules in the Roster Server. The ClassLink Management Console does not provide the option to set up sharing rules.

  9. Once the PASCO Portal app is added to the Roster Server applications, select Enable to allow users to be synced, and to allow SSO to Portal.
