Using with Google Workspace for Education

If your school district uses Google Workspace for Education, these additional steps should be taken when you launch your Appazur mobile app:

Also, consider these possible integrations:

Google Classroom
Google Calendar
Digital Signage - supports Google Slides, YouTube.
Google Forms

Test Google Single Sign On (SSO)

Google Workspace Single Sign On is an option for Appazur branded school apps, Hall Pass, and Digital Signage.

This allows staff and/or students to sign in using their usual district credentials instead of having to set a password for the app. Appazur does not access any personal information other than name and email address, and requests only the minimal permissions to do so.

Testing

Please be sure to test the option to sign in using school district Google credentials. If students and staff are on different email domains, please be sure to test both a student and a staff sign in.

Potential Issues

If staff or students are unable to sign in using Google, it is often due to a district Google Workspace policy option. A workaround is to sign in like a parent and set an app password.

“Your administrator requires you to set a passcode on this device to access this account. Please set a passcode and try again.”
- If staff or students are using district-managed devices, they may see this message in the app if they do not have a passcode set for the device, and you have Require users to set a password set in Google Admin Console.
Unable to install app on Android.
- You may have set the policy: Allow whitelisted apps only. See Whitelist Application below.
Unable to Sign In.
- Users may see this message: “You can’t access this app until an admin at your institution reviews and configures access for it. If you need access to this app, …”. Google provides a link to request access, so you may have received some notifications about this as described here: Manage access to unconfigured third-party apps for users designated as under 18 To resolve this, you need to set our app as “Trusted” in your Google Admin Console, as described below (Add Trusted Application).

Add Trusted Application

Google enables Google Workspace for Education administrators to restrict which applications users can access with their Google accounts. These restrictions may apply to all users, or to users designated as under 18.

To ensure that students and staff will be able to install and sign in to the app from their personal and/or district-provided devices, you may need to register the app as a “Trusted Application”.

Sign in to the Google Admin Console.
Navigate to App Access Control.
Click “Add App”, then “App name or Client ID”
- Search for 1068616059652-546s53g5o81ij749cn6o4iqhlidfde24.apps.googleusercontent.com and select it.
- Choose “Trusted: Can access all Google services”.
Click “Add App”, then “iOS”
- Search for Sunnycrest High and select it.
- Choose “Trusted: Can access all Google services”.
Click “Add App”, then “Android”
- Search for Sunnycrest High and select it.
- Choose “Trusted: Can access all Google services”.

The app requests only the minimum permissions to access the user’s basic profile information (name and email address), and does not access other Google services on behalf of the user.
