  2. Go to Settings > General Settings.

Step 2: Add Login Buttons

You can create up to 6 separate login buttons to provide dedicated login options for different user types (e.g., students, staff, alumni, guests). Here’s how:

  1. Click “Add Login Button.”

  1. Select and configure the login method 

    • Single Sign-On (SSO) — if enabled for your institution

    • One-Time Password (OTP) (recommended for improved security and ease of use)

    • Email + Password

  2. Enter a Button Name for the button (e.g., Student Login, Staff Login, Guest Login).

  3. (Optional) Add a subtitle to provide extra guidance (e.g., Sign in using OTP).

  4. Publish the button – buttons will only appear on the login page after they are published.

  5. Click Save.

 Best Practices

  • Use clear, descriptive names for each button based on its intended audience

    • Examples:

      • Students & Staff — Log in with SSO

      • Alumni — Log in with Email/Password

      • Guests — Log in with OTP

  • Choose clear names for OTP or Email/Password buttons: If your institution uses SSO, clearly label these options for guests or alumni to reduce the risk of students selecting the wrong login method.

  • Prioritize your buttons: Place your most common login method (e.g., SSO) at the top.

  • Add subtitles or helper text to clarify when or how users should choose login.

    • Example: “Use this option only if you don’t have a campus account.”

  • If your institution restricts student access to the platform by disabling their SSO, and you also offer a guest login, use Email/Password for the guest login instead of OTP to ensure those students cannot log in.

Step 3: Arrange Your Login Buttons

  • Drag and drop the login buttons to arrange them in your preferred order.

Best Practices

Place the most used login option (typically SSO) first for easier access.

Step 4: Include instructions

To help users understand how to log in, you can provide guidance in two places:

  • Login Screen Instruction – This short text appears within the login box and is ideal for quick guidance.

  • Login Help Instruction – Use this section to add longer messages, such as detailed steps, troubleshooting tips, or instructions for different user types.

Both types of instructions will be displayed on web and mobile.

Best Practices

Use this section to remind students to always log in with SSO and include clear instructions for guests or alumni.

Step 5: Activate Account Creation (Optional)

If your institution wants to allow users to create their own accounts, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Permissions & Privacy tab.

  2. Set ‘Guests can join groups’ to Yes.

Note: The Account Creation link will only appear when a student selects a login button using Email/Password or OTP

Best Practices

Avoid enabling Account Creation if your institution uses SSO with Just-In-Time (JIT) provisioning. If you choose to enable it, clearly label the login buttons and include guidance in the login instructions to ensure students always use the SSO button rather than the Account Creation form.

Step 6: Customize Your Login Page

You can personalize your login page to match your institution’s branding by uploading a logo and background image. See the Branding article for more details.
