Overview
If your school or district uses Google SSO, Microsoft SSO, or LDAP authentication, you can restrict access to the Edlio Content Management System (CMS) so that only staff members can log in. This article explains how to set this up.
What is the Issue?
By default, anyone with an account on your school's domain can log into your Edlio CMS. This means students or other non-staff users might have access to edit your website content.
How to Restrict Access
Edlio can configure your system to only allow users from a specific Organizational Unit (OU) to access the CMS. Here's how:
Step 1: Set Up an Organizational Unit
In your SSO service (Google, Microsoft, or LDAP), create or identify an Organizational Unit specifically for staff members who should have CMS access.
Step 2: Contact Edlio Support
Reach out to Edlio's technical support team and provide them with:
The name of your staff Organizational Unit
Your school/district name
Your website URL
Step 3: Verification
Edlio will configure your CMS to only allow users from the specified OU to log in.
Important Notes
Only one Organizational Unit can be used for CMS access control
All users who need CMS access must be placed in this same OU
This setting applies to all authentication methods using your domain's SSO
