Before you begin configuring, ensure you are a Google Administrator to complete the integration process. Also, make sure you have access to the App Access Control page in your Google Admin Console. You will need admin privileges to first whitelist Edlink and then perform the integration.

Follow the steps below to whitelist Edlink for your school or district:

1. Visit the App Access Control page in your Google Admin Console.

2. Select View List at the bottom of the Configured app box in the header. This will display the list of managed third-party apps, allowing you to add a new app.

Click the "Add App" dropdown next to the Connected Apps table name. Select the option OAuth App Name Or Client ID from the dropdown.

3. Paste the following Client ID into the search box and click Search.

563820043496-o65vgllud5rrstbf8tg0rltlm5pbg868.apps.googleusercontent.com

4. "Edlink" should appear as the only search result. Hover your cursor over the result and click "Select" on the right.

5. Highlight the box that contains the Client ID. Select "Continue".

6. Select "Trusted" and then click "Configure App".

Edlink will now appear in your list of whitelisted applications.

Kognity’s integration engineers will send you an integration link similar to this one: https://ed.link/integrate/abc456789-efg456-123456 (please note that this is just an example and doesn't have any value).
