- Continue with Google is on the sign-in and sign-up pages for everyone.
- Clever and ClassLink sign-in are built and switched on per deployment; Clever currently works in Clever's test environment and is not yet available to districts.
- Signing in with a provider does not add someone to your school or import rosters.
- Staff join a school through an invite from Manage Teachers; access ends when an admin removes them.
- Two-factor sign-in with an authenticator app is available to every user in Settings.
Schools usually want staff to sign in with an account they already have, and to have access removed when staff leave. This article describes what Evident supports today, and what it does not yet do.
Google sign-in
Continue with Google appears on the sign-in and sign-up pages. Staff with Google Workspace accounts can use it with no setup from your technology team. Email and password sign-in is also available.
Clever and ClassLink
Evident has Clever and ClassLink sign-in built. The buttons appear only on deployments where the connection has been switched on. Clever sign-in works end to end in Clever's test environment, and district availability depends on Clever's partner approval, which is in progress. If your district needs Clever or ClassLink, contact us so we can tell you the current status for your case.
When enabled, provider sign-in matches the person to an Evident account by email or creates one. It does not place them in your school or bring in class rosters.
How staff accounts are created and removed
Staff join your school through invitations sent from Manage Teachers, with a role chosen by the admin. There is no automatic roster sync from an identity provider or student information system today; students are added by hand or from CSV files.
When someone leaves, an admin chooses Remove on Manage Teachers, which ends their access to school data. Transfer their students to a colleague first.
Two-factor sign-in
Any user can turn on two-factor sign-in in Settings with an authenticator app, and generate recovery codes. Admins handling school-wide data should turn it on.
Frequently asked questions
Do we need SSO to use Evident?
No. Staff can sign in with Google or with email and password.
Does Evident sync rosters from Clever or ClassLink?
Not today. Students are added by hand or imported from a CSV file.
How is access removed when a staff member leaves?
An admin removes them on Manage Teachers. Their account can still exist, but it no longer has access to your school's data.
Can we require two-factor sign-in for admins?
Every user can turn on two-factor in Settings. Contact us if your school needs it required for admin roles.
