Admin Help: Staff Directory Cards-Google Version
Your site must have Authenticated with Google or Office before you are able to sync your staff listing.
The "Staff Directory" for each site can be found at "www.yourschoolsite_url/staff". These directories are syncing every night around midnight with a specific Google or Office365 Group or OU(Organizational Unit) within the district G-Suite super admin account or Office365 admin account.
These user Groups and OU's are managed by your district Technology Director. Please reach out to them if you do not see a staff member in your directory.
The staff must be added to those Groups and/or OU's first. The steps for choosing the Group and/or OU which each site syncs with are below.
To select the Group(s) or OU(s) each site syncs with, you must be an admin at the district site.
- If you are a district admin, login to the district site and click on your name
- Click on Configuration
- Click on Authenticate with Google or Office on the left, whichever your district is using
- The window below shows the Authenticate with Google dashboard. Office365 dashboard is the same.
- If you scroll down you will see the Organization list on the left and on the right you will see sets of drop downs for each site under "Permission Groups"
You can grant admin permissions to Groups or OU's in this dashboard, but we usually do that from the from front page of each site in the Permissions dashboard (accesses by clicking on the little people icon when you are logged in as an admin.
Most importantly, this is the only place where you can select which Group or OU your staff listings are syncing with.
If you click on the "Staff" drop down, you will see a list of all the Groups and OU's in the admin account we are syncing with.
You are able to select multiple options within the drop downs if you have to sync multiple Groups or OU's or a combination of either.
Once those are selected, SchoolBlocks will sync up each night. If you add a user to the Group or OU today in Google or Office, their card will appear in the staff listing tomorrow.
