How to configure the ClassLink Single Sign-On

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for configuring ClassLink Single Sign-On (SSO) to enable secure access to the MHS Group Insights (MGI) application. By integrating ClassLink, districts can streamline administrator login using their existing credentials, simplify application assignment, and ensure accurate authentication across multiple platforms. The setup process includes adding and assigning the app in ClassLink, retrieving the client ID, and activating the application within the MGI platform.
