ClassLink is a popular Identity Provider (IdP) used by school admins, teachers, and students. Verkada Guest allows you to sync your student roster information from ClassLink. This allows the use of Student Guest types, which include the following:
Late arrival (track students who arrive late to school)
Student pick-up (track when a student is picked up by their parent/guardian)
Self sign-out (track when a student leaves school early)
ClassLink set up
Required: You need a ClassLink Tenant ID before you can set up the integration. You need to use an email set up as an admin in both Roster Server and Command to sync a ClassLink tenant ID. This email in ClassLink Roster Server must be part of a user with the role administrator for a district org type. Alternatively, the ClassLink Tenant Admin can add manual records to Roster Server.
