Our standard approach, and the one most institutions take, is to enable SSO for StudyStash without scoping it to a pilot group. Students hear about StudyStash through the instructors running the pilot, so access stays limited in practice.

​
Why enable SSO during a pilot

→ Full screen access: students can use StudyStash in its own window, which many find easier to use, particularly for accessibility. → Direct sign-in: students who go straight to the StudyStash website can sign in without needing a code. → Dashboard sign-in: staff who have been granted Admin Dashboard access can use SSO to sign in. SSO does not grant additional permissions; the pages and reports available depend on the access assigned to your account. Instructors can try it first: we recommend including instructors as well as students, so they can explore and test the platform before introducing it to their class.

Why we don’t recommend scoping SSO

Since students only hear about StudyStash through their instructor, extra sign-ups are rare and free of charge, rosters never need syncing and SSO can always be scoped later if needed.
  • Shared via instructors: students hear about StudyStash through the instructors running the pilot.
  • No lists to maintain: students who join late are not locked out.
  • No extra cost: we do not charge for extra sign-ups.
  • Fully reversible: SSO can be scoped later if needed.
