[IT Setup](https://help.wellioeducation.com/for-admins?hsLang=en#it-setup) # Setting up Single Sign-On (SSO) for your school ## Configure SSO with Wellio using SAML 2.0 with Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace and more. ⚠️ **Note:** Setting up SSO doesn't eliminate the need to enrol teachers & classes. Even with SSO enabled, **users must still be provisioned** through the Enrolment Portal or Class Join Codes. This ensures that only licensed users can access Wellio. Enabling Single Sign-On (SSO) on Wellio allows for secure login using your school's existing Identity Provider (IdP) for both students and staff. This eliminates the need for remembering Wellio passwords and makes it easier to control access to Wellio at your school! To support SSO, Wellio employs the SAML 2.0 protocol, which is compatible with most modern directory services, including but not limited to Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory), Google Workspace, Okta, KeyCloak, and more. If you're unsure about compatibility, you can contact your Wellio account manager or our Support team for assistance. ### What you'll need to get started Although SSO configuration is relatively straightforward, it is advisable to have someone familiar with setting up your school's Identity Provider, such as an IT team member, to carry out the process. **They will need Wellio admin permissions** to access the SSO setup steps. During your setup, we will need the following: - **Your identity provider** - Let us know whether you're using Microsoft, Google, or another SAML provider. - **SAML metadata file -** This is also referred to as Federation Metadata XML or IdP Metadata. - **Test account credentials (2x)** - One teacher test account and one student test account, including the email address and password. We store these securely and delete them after testing. ### How do I set up SAML SSO for my school? Please access the instructions for your chosen provider below. - [Google Workspace](https://help.wellioeducation.com/single-sign-on-sso-for-google-schools?hsLang=en) - [Microsoft Azure / Entra ID](https://help.wellioeducation.com/single-sign-on-sso-for-microsoft/azure-schools?hsLang=en) ### What happens next? Once you upload your metadata file and test credentials in the ***SSO*** tab of ***Settings*** and click ***Submit for Review***, our team will receive your SSO Review Request and attempt a test login using your test accounts. If everything works, we'll enable SSO for your school and notify you. If there are any issues, we'll reach out with details on what needs to be corrected. **SSO reviews typically take 1–2 business days.** More complex configurations may take longer. ### How does this impact activation invite emails? If your school has SSO enabled, users won't be required to activate their Wellio accounts prior to logging in for the first time. Users can log in immediately via the [Sign In](https://app.wellioeducation.com/users/sign_in) page. ### Is your school's IT managed by the Department, a diocese, a school group or a third-party? If your school belongs to a larger organisation, such as a diocese, a state's Department of Education or a school group, SSO can be set up **once for the whole group**. Every school we add to that group then uses the same setup, so you don't need to configure SSO for your school yourself. If your school belongs to one of the following groups, we've already completed the SAML SSO integration with their central IT team - you don't need to follow the setup steps above. - NSW Department of Education (public schools) - SA Department of Education (public schools) Just [contact our Support team](mailto:support@wellioeducation.com) and let us know your school name. We'll add your school to its group and switch SSO on for you. #### Already set up SSO for your school? If your school is added to a group, the group's SSO setup is used instead of your school's own setup. We keep your school's setup in the background, so nothing is deleted. If you ever need to go back to it, [contact our Support team](mailto:support@wellioeducation.com).     #### If your IT is managed by another Department or third-party provider not listed above, log an IT ticket with them and send them the following details: **Subject:** Request to Configure SAML SSO for Wellio Hi there, We’re in the process of setting up Single Sign-On (SSO) for Wellio at our school and require your assistance to configure this. **A multi-tenancy option is available and preferred.** Please reach out to Wellio's Support Team at support@wellioeducation.com to get the SAML details. Please complete **Steps 1–4** of the relevant Wellio setup guide: - **Google Schools:** [https://help.wellioeducation.com/single-sign-on-sso-for-google-schools](https://help.wellioeducation.com/single-sign-on-sso-for-google-schools?hsLang=en) - **Microsoft:** [https://help.wellioeducation.com/single-sign-on-sso-for-microsoft/azure-schools](https://help.wellioeducation.com/single-sign-on-sso-for-microsoft/azure-schools?hsLang=en) Wellio SAML Details: - **Entity ID:** *\[Contact support@wellioeducation.com\]* - **Reply URL:** *\[Contact support@wellioeducation.com\]* Once configured, could you please provide: 1.
