Add Student to Thinkific Group via SSO

When a student uses the SSO Connector, we can automatically assign them to a Thinkific Group. This can be useful for tracking the use of the system by external users, or if you grant Group Analyst permissions then those analysts can view the progress of their students.

You can assign groups based on the Application a student is using, or for specific Links. This permits you to be granular on which students are placed in which Thinkific Groups.

Note:

• Due to limitations of the Thinkific API, it is not possible to remove students from groups using the SSO connector. You must manually remove students from their group using the Thinkific Admin dashboard.
• If you later add or remove a Group from a Link or Application, existing users in those Thinkfiic Groups will not be added or removed.

Important Notes

• You can assign as many groups to an Application as you wish
• Addition to a group is asynchronous and may take upwards of 10 minutes to complete.
• You can assign as many groups to a Link as you wish
• Addition to a group is asynchronous and may take upwards of 10 minutes to complete.
