The Multi-Site access feature simplifies school management for Multi-Academy Trusts. Staff with MAT parent site credentials can seamlessly access any linked school website (child site) without needing separate logins. This eliminates the need to remember multiple usernames and passwords, saving you time and effort.
If the MAT parent site user has a custom role (not Administrator, Publisher or Writer) they won't be able to switch to the linked site using MAT Multi-site access.
If you manage a group of websites and would like to use this feature, contact us to enable it.

Existing school/child site logins
Manually added account on a child site
If a user has an existing account on the linked school/child site, that was created outside of this method, the user will not be able to switch to the linked site via MAT Multi-site login.
To allow multi-site login, you must login to the child site and remove the manually created account.
Single Sign-on on a child site
If Microsoft or Google SSO has been set up on both the parent and linked site, the user won't be able to switch to a linked site.
To allow multi-site login, an administrator must login to the child site and remove Single Sign-on.
