In order to access and sync data from your Google Workspace domain, Securly Classroom needs to be linked to your Google account. Following these steps will enable:
- Importing your inventory of Chromebooks to the Devices menu.
- Importing your Google Classroom classes to Classes menu.
- Importing your directory structure to select users or devices by Organizational Unit (OU) in various areas of Securly Classroom.
- Regular synchronization of device data and Google Classroom classes.
To link your Google account, follow these steps.
Go to the Settings menu and click on the Google tab from the Deployment sub-menu. Click the Link button located next to Sync Status.
A new tab will open and prompt you to login to your Google account.
The next window will prompt you to allow access to Securly Classroom. Click Allow.
You should receive a confirmation of success. Once this is complete, go to Google Admin Console and go to Security > Access & Data Controls > API Controls.
From here, click MANAGE APP ACCESS.
Click on Configure new app.
In the next window Search for "Securly".
Find the entry that says Securly Classroom and click it.
Under Scope, select the OUs from your Google directory that contain the devices and users you wish to use with Securly Classroom. In most cases, this will be your entire organization, which will be selected by default. The only reason to make changes here is if you're using Securly Classroom in only one part of your organization, such as a single school within a district.
Select "Trusted".
On the next page, review your selections and click the Finish button at the bottom of the page.
Once this is complete, you can return to Securly Classroom.
The message area at the top of the Securly Classroom interface will show the progress as items are synced with your account.
When the sync is complete, the Sync status will show "Linked" and a Last Sync date will be filled in.
