How Does MyTouchMath Integrate with External SSO Partners?

Overview

MyTouchMath integrates seamlessly with external Single Sign-On (SSO) and rostering providers such as ClassLink and Clever, allowing teachers and students to log in effortlessly without managing additional usernames and passwords. With SSO integration, users click the MyTouchMath icon in their external provider portal to access their account instantly.

When a user accesses MyTouchMath for the first time through an external provider, the platform automatically creates an account using Just-In-Time (JIT) provisioning. This approach ensures accounts are only designed for active users, optimizing license management and reducing administrative overhead.

How Does It Work?

Once roster syncing is set up between MyTouchMath and your external partner:

• Click & Go: Users click the MyTouchMath icon within their external provider portal.
• Automatic Authentication: The external provider securely verifies the user’s identity.
• Account Verification: MyTouchMath checks if the user already has an account:
  • Existing Users: Instantly gain access to their MyTouchMath account.
  • New Users: Automatically receive a newly created account based on details provided by the external partner.
• License Assignment: An administrator can assign the necessary TouchMath licenses after creating the account.
• Start Learning: Users can immediately begin using MyTouchMath.

Why Is This Beneficial?

Simplified Logins: Eliminates the need to remember additional usernames and passwords.

• Immediate Access: New users can start learning instantly without waiting for manual account creation.
• Efficient License Management: Accounts are created only for active users, ensuring optimal use of available licenses.
• Reduced IT Workload: Automated account creation and maintenance save valuable time for your IT team.
• Secure and Trusted: Authentication occurs securely through reputable external providers.

Steps for Account Managers

To leverage SSO integration effectively, follow these steps:

1. Set up roster synchronization and deploy the MyTouchMath icon via your external partner portal.
2. Contact customerservice@touchmath.com to link your existing TouchMath account with your external partner provider.
3. Once TouchMath confirms setup completion, ensure teachers and students log in through your external partner portal.
4. Regularly assign curriculum licenses to new accounts created via JIT provisioning.

After initial setup, the integration process runs smoothly behind the scenes, making access to MyTouchMath straightforward and effortless.
