Step 1: Verify Account Creation on Securly Side

Before proceeding with the deployment, make sure that your Securly Classroom account has been created on Securly’s side. It is highly recommended that you do not deploy the extension until this account is verified. You can email support@securly.com to confirm account creation.

Step 2: Enable API Access in Google Workspace

To ensure that Securly Classroom can communicate effectively with your Google Workspace environment, you'll need to add Securly as an Application to your API control in Google Workspace.

Log in to your Google Admin Console.
Navigate to Security > API controls and click on Manage Third Party API Access.
Select OAuth App Name or Client ID from the dropdown for Add app.
Search for Securly. You will be displayed with all the Securly apps. Select the one you need to enable access for.
Check the OAuth Client ID checkbox.
Click on Select and, on the subsequent page, select the radio button for Trusted: Can access all Google services.
Click Configure to finish the setup.

If you are using any other Securly apps, repeat this process to enable access for each app.

Step 3: Link Google Account to Securly Classroom

To ensure proper synchronization of your Google Classroom rosters, you'll need to link your Google Workspace account with Securly Classroom.

Log in to Securly Classroom using your Google Workspace account.
Go to Classroom Settings > Google Integration.
Click Link Account to authorize Securly Classroom to sync data from your Google Classroom. Please ensure that you are using a Super Admin account from Google to link the two.
Confirm that the permissions are enabled for roster syncing, student monitoring, and classroom management.

For more details, check the guide: Linking Google to Securly Classroom.

Step 4: Set Up the Roster Integration

To ensure that Securly Classroom can properly sync with your Student Information System (SIS) or Learning Management System (LMS), you must configure the Roster Integration. This allows for automatic syncing of teachers, students, and classes.

Follow these steps for roster integration:

Navigate to Classroom > Settings.
Click on the Roster Integration tab.
Select the method you will use for roster synchronization:
Configure the integration by following the relevant documentation here: Roster Integration Guide.
After setting up, you can manually or automatically sync your rosters as needed.

Step 5: Deploy Securly Classroom

Install the Classroom browser extension by following the documentation here: Deploy the Classroom extension guide.

If you want to deploy Classroom as native Windows or Mac agent, refer to the below links:

The extension and native agents will automatically begin monitoring students once deployed.

Step 6: Configure Classroom Settings

Once Classroom is deployed and roster integration is set up, you can configure additional Classroom settings such as:

Web Links: Push web links directly to student devices.
Scenes: Create custom classroom scenes to limit or allow access to specific websites during class time.
Teachers: Ensure that teachers have the necessary access and permissions to manage their classes.

Step 7: Sync Devices with Google Admin

To finalize the deployment, sync your devices with Google Admin. This will ensure that all Chromebooks are enrolled and that the Classroom extension is actively monitoring students.
