How to defend against these threats

• Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA): MFA is a critical defence against attackers logging into your account and accessing sensitive data.
  School Admins can now force staff to use MFA either on a user by user basis or select all staff. Simply select users and select Enable 2FA from Password Bulk Actions. We recommend Google Authenticator (or use an Authenticator app that you are already using)
  
  This realsmart article explains how your admins can implement MFA

• Educate users: Train your staff to be cautious of phishing attempts and to report suspicious activity immediately.
  
• Ensure your password is not a default. Adopting the ‘three random words’ technique can help users to use suitably complex passphrases that they can actually remember.
  
• Adopt a password policy for your users, where they must use complex passwords and a password expiry duration prompts user to update their password.

Before starting the setup process contact realsmart support team to ensure the correct APIs are in place.

The Google Guardian feature connects parents and guardians to students Classroom information.
Because guardians are not members of the student’s School domain they must receive an invitation using their own email address. After they accept the invitation they become Classroom guardian.

Once you have synced your Guardians to realsmart you can then review them and select which to sync to google as there may be some that have requested NOT to be synced

Once approved you’ll see the addresses move from ‘Parent Emails Available’ to ‘Parent Emails to Provision’ lists.

If you want to remove a parent in the future just tick and use the ‘Disapprove Parents Emails’ button.

Once you are happy that the ‘Parent Emails to Provision’ list is complete hit the ‘Start Classroom Data Sync’ Button which will start the sync to google.

Within 24hrs parents will recieve an automated email invitation from google, as below. The parent or guardian just needs to hit ‘Accept Invite’

Only once they have accepted the invitation will they become a Google Guardian.

The parent will then get the option for how regularly they want to receive summaries or non at all.

Contact realsmart support if you need any help setting up your guardians to Google Classroom sync.

Streamlining your setup

糖心Vlog simplifies Apple School Manager integration by automating the creation of courses, rosters, and users. Our web application generates the necessary import files, streamlining your setup process.

We integrate with Apple to create a compliant CSV that can automatically be imported into ASM.

Benefits a MIS to Apple School Manager Sync

We fetch data from your MIS to our realsmart system multiple times per day, you can then sync this data to ASM as many times as you like.

Create New Users/Classes Automatically

Because we sync with your MIS as soon as a new user/class is added we can send that data to ASM

Step by step process

Our interface takes you through the process step by step and offers tooltips for each stage.
