This guide outlines the process for migrating your district from a manual setup to a hybrid integration with Subject. A hybrid integration adds SSO authentication for simplified login while maintaining flexibility in enrollment management.
What is a Hybrid Integration?
Hybrid Integration = SSO authentication + Manual enrollment management in Subject
Key benefits:
Simplified login for students and staff via SSO
Flexibility to manage enrollments directly in Subject
What Changes with Hybrid Integration?
Login Method
Students and staff will use SSO to log in (Clever, ClassLink, or direct SIS SSO)
Users will NO LONGER be able to login at app.subject.com
No more individual usernames/passwords
Single sign-on with district credentials
User Account Creation
User accounts sync from your SSO provider
You will no longer need to invite users to the platform - student accounts will automatically be created
What Stays the Same?
Enrollment Management
Teachers and admins can still add/remove students in Subject
Full control over class rosters in the platform
No requirement for specific course codes in SIS
Student Progress
All student work and progress is preserved
No disruption to ongoing coursework
Teaching Workflow
Course content remains the same
Assignment and grading process unchanged
