Creating Classrooms with a Directory

Updated

This article explains how to set up Classroom Manager classes using a directory (Google, LDAP or Entra ID).

Classroom Manager can be configured using Google, LDAP, or Entra ID groups as classes. This allows your school to use Classroom Manager if it does not have a SIS.

These groups appear as class tiles for teachers. If the teacher is configured in Classroom Manager and belongs to that group, the teacher will see that group as a class they can use in Classroom Manager.

From a teacher's view, anything displayed in Classroom Manager is considered a class. However, it can be either a group or a class behind the scenes. Classroom Manager shows these differences by indicating the source type, such as Google Group, Google Classroom, and LDAP.

Add Classrooms with a Directory

The two step process to add classrooms with a directory:

  1. Sync Classrooms with a Directory.

      Important

    You must add the Google, LDAP or Entra ID directory group to which all teachers belong as the Teachers configuration for Classroom Manager.

  2. Limit Teachers Available Classrooms either by:
    1. Membership & Ownership
    2. Class Filter (Google, LDAP or Microsoft Entra ID directories)
    3. Select Providers (Google Classroom or ClassLink)
