SSO for Department of Education NSW schools

If you are a Department of Education NSW school with an active School subscription, Single Sign-On (SSO) has most likely already be enabled for your account.

Benefits of SSO

• Staff and students can log in with their usual school username and password - they won't need to remember an additional login for StoryBox Hub.
• Account Holders will get access to additional statistics.
• Users that log in via SSO will have control of their own personal playlists.
• Users that log in via SSO will have control of their own preferences for whether captions appear on by default and whether playlists loop by default.
• We can provide a direct link to your organisation's StoryBox Hub SSO login page.

Check if SSO is already enabled

1. If you're already logged in to StoryBox Hub, log out.
2. Navigate to the SSO login page on our website (LOG IN > SSO).
3. If you see your school's name in the dropdown box, SSO is enabled. You can contact our support team to request the direct link for your school's SSO login page for distribution to staff and families for bookmarking.

If SSO is not enabled

Please contact our support team with the name of your school and we can set you up.

Notes

• All DOE NSW schools with active StoryBox Hub subscriptions can also set up our Oliver V5 integration.
• If your school has a Premium subscription uses our LTI integration for StoryBox access via your Learning Management System, it is recommended that you conduct all access through your LMS rather than using the SSO login page. This is because both LTI and SSO create staff/student accounts under your main account, but our system currently can't sync an LTI-generated sub account with an SSO-generated sub account. This means if you have both set up and a student accesses StoryBox Hub via your LMS integration, and then later by SSO, they will end up with two separate accounts which could cause some confusion.
