How to Set Up Single-Sign-On (SSO)

Overview

This article will explain how a multi-course operation (MCO) employee can set up and use a single-sign-on (SSO) account. The MCO employee will then only have to remember one login and password and be able to log in and access all courses in the MCO.

Preconditions

The following conditions must be met before starting on the instructional steps below: 

• The employee must already be set up as an employee (see this article for how to create an employee) in each of the foreUP accounts/instances they wish to add to their SSO account (e.g.: I work for a 3-course MCO and need access to all three foreUP accounts for my three courses. I need to be set up as an employee with all the applicable permission settings enabled in all three foreUP accounts before I can set up and use an SSO account)
  •  
• The same email address must be used for every employee profile created in each of the foreUP accounts in the MCO (e.g., I get set up as an employee in course A with all of the applicable permission settings enabled. When I get set up as an employee in course B, I must use the same email address that was used in my employee profile in course A.)

FAQ

Q: When I log into my SSO account, one of the foreUP accounts I am set up as an employee is not showing in my Available Courses section to adopt. Why?

A: Double check that in each of your employee profiles you have set up in the various foreUP accounts in your MCO is set up with the SAME email address

Q: What if we add a new course to our MCO with a new foreUP account and I get set up with an employee profile in that foreUP account. How do I add that foreUP account as part of my SSO account? 

A: The next time you log into your SSO account after you have been set up as an employee in that new foreUP account, it will show in your Available Courses section to adopt as long as you used the same email address.
