Overview
This article explains how to enable MAT website users with the appropriate permissions to log into any linked school website (child site) without needing a separate login.
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.
Prerequisites
You must be an Administrator to use this functionality.
The feature must be enabled. If you manage a group of websites and want to use this feature, contact us to enable it.
Instructions
To set the permissions for multi-site sign-on for Administrators, Publishers or Writers:
- Select User Manager from the Home tab:
- Select either the Administrators, Publishers or Writers role to assign the permission to:
- Select Edit:
- Select Choose Permissions:
- Scroll to, and select Child Sites in the list of permissions:
- Set Child Sites Login to Allow:
- Select Save changes to update the role permissions.
Outcome
The role will be updated so that users allocated the role can sign on to any linked school website (child site) within their MAT without the need for separate logins.
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.
