Single sign-on for school staff
Staff sign in to Omella through your identity provider, like Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra, Okta or OneLogin. It's free, and our team sets it up with you on a short call.

How single sign-on works
Works with your identity provider
Omella uses SAML 2.0, so it works with Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra, Okta, OneLogin or any other SAML 2.0 provider.
Required for your domain
Once SSO is on, new staff with an email on your domain must sign in with SSO, and existing staff on that domain sign in with SSO too. People with other email domains keep their usual login.
Accounts created on first sign-in
A staff member's Omella account is created the first time they sign in with SSO. There's no roster sync (SCIM) to manage.
Set up for each school
Each Omella organization has its own SSO setup, so in a district with several schools, each school turns it on.
Families don't need a password
SSO is for staff. Families get an emailed link or code to see payment history or manage recurring payments, or sign in through your student information system if it's connected to Omella. Students don't sign in.
Free
Single sign-on costs nothing extra.
Setting it up
Book a short call
Email us or book a time. Omella support turns SSO on for you. It isn't self-serve.
Bring your identity provider admin
Invite the person at your school or district who can add an app in your identity provider.
Connect it together on Zoom
Setup usually takes about 5 minutes on the call. Some identity providers need extra back-and-forth, so leave time before your launch.
SSO works in the Omella web app. It isn't available in the mobile app yet.
Ask about SSO for your district
Tell us which identity provider your staff use, and we'll set up a time to connect it.
