Connect SimplyPrint to the identity provider your organization already runs. Users sign in with their existing account, their SimplyPrint account is created on first sign-in, and your IT team keeps control of who has access.
On the School and Enterprise plans
Works with practically any identity provider
InCommon, eduGAIN and WAYF
SCIM adds new users and removes leavers
If your provider speaks SAML 2.0 or OpenID Connect - and nearly all of them do - it works with SimplyPrint. These are the ones schools and organizations ask about most.
Both do the same job, and your users will not notice a difference once it is live. Your account runs one method at a time; switching keeps the other's saved settings, so you can switch back without re-entering anything.
Each user is identified by the stable identifier your provider sends - the SAML NameID or the OIDC sub claim (the object ID for Microsoft Entra ID) - not by email. Email, name and groups can change without affecting the account. Release a stable identifier that is never reassigned, such as a NetID, an eduPersonPrincipalName or a persistent per-user ID.
Nobody has to create accounts in advance: an account is created the first time someone signs in through your identity provider. With OIDC, verifying your email domains makes every address on them trusted for this. Users who already have an account can link it before their first SSO sign-in and keep their history.
Point SimplyPrint at the group or attribute in your directory that marks teachers, and they get teacher access while students get the limited access you choose. Directory groups can also map to SimplyPrint groups and classes.
With SCIM provisioning, users added to your directory appear in SimplyPrint and leavers lose access automatically. No spreadsheet to maintain and no end-of-year clean-up. Guides cover Okta, Microsoft Entra ID and OneLogin.
Connect the district identity provider once and share it with every managed school. Each person is routed to their own school when they sign in; someone who belongs to several joins them all or picks from a school selector, depending on the district's setting. Our team enables district SSO as part of district onboarding.
Pick your identity provider and follow its guide. Whoever manages your provider can usually do the whole setup.
SimplyPrint follows the REFEDS Data Protection Code of Conduct v2 for federated SSO, is built in the EU and is GDPR compliant. Western Australia's Department of Education rated SimplyPrint Low Risk in its Security & Privacy Risk Assessment.
Security Certifications & standards School onboarding journey
Single sign-on is included on the School and Enterprise plans, with no separate SSO add-on. That covers SAML, OIDC, federation login and SCIM roster sync, and school accounts also get teacher mapping.
No. An account is created the first time someone signs in. With SCIM roster sync, your directory also adds new users and removes leavers automatically, so SimplyPrint always matches your roster.
Nothing breaks. SimplyPrint identifies each user by the stable identifier your provider sends, not by email, so the person keeps the same account.
Yes. Users who already have a SimplyPrint account can link it to their SSO login before their first SSO sign-in, and keep their files, prints and history.
Yes. Sign-in happens in the browser, so it works on Chromebooks, iPads and shared lab computers with nothing to install and no device admin rights needed.
