Sign-In Security
The dashboard uses Google Sign-In for all staff authentication. Here is what that means in practice.
No separate passwords
Section titled “No separate passwords”Staff sign in with the Google account they already use for school email. The dashboard does not manage passwords, store credentials, or create separate accounts. If your district requires two-factor authentication on Google accounts, that requirement applies to dashboard access automatically — nothing extra to configure.
Access is administrator-controlled
Section titled “Access is administrator-controlled”A staff member cannot access the dashboard unless a school administrator has explicitly invited them and assigned a role. Access can be removed at any time from the Admin page. Removal takes effect immediately — on the staff member’s next sign-in attempt, access is denied.
What the dashboard sees from Google
Section titled “What the dashboard sees from Google”When you sign in, the dashboard reads only your email address and name from Google. It does not access Gmail, Google Drive, Google Classroom, Google Calendar, or any other Google service.
Student data boundaries
Section titled “Student data boundaries”Staff see only data for students at their own school. Teachers see only students in their assigned classes. No cross-school access is possible. No student can see another student’s data.
For IT coordinators and district administrators
Section titled “For IT coordinators and district administrators”If you are evaluating the dashboard for your district, handling vendor review, or need documentation for a DPA or security assessment, see the full Security & Compliance section — it covers OAuth scopes, network requirements, FERPA compliance, and how to request a Data Processing Agreement.
