How To Share By Teacher

by Ryan Clay

Hey developer! Do you have a school district where only certain teachers and their classes should have access to your app?

We suggest implementing a rule to share only those teachers.

This rule will only share data from the teachers included in this rule and their students. Here's how.

Go to ed.link and log into your admin account. Click the Integrations tab in the sidebar, and select your app integration.

Step 2: Navigate to the Product Licensing page

Once you've selected your app integration, click Data Pipeline in the left-hand sidebar, and then the blue Open Preview button.

Next, Click Product Licensing in the left-hand sidebar. You're now on the page you'll use to select the classes you'd like to share with your app.

Step 3: Create a Share By Teacher rule

Click Create a New Rule and select Share by Class in the right-hand sidebar that pops up.

You'll see a form that you'll use to create a rule that will limit the data shared with your app.

Use the teacher filter to share classes taught by the specific teachers you have in mind. This filter allows you to search by teacher name.

You can also set the same rule using teacher e-mail, if that's easier.

Step 4: Save your changes

When you're finished setting the rule, click Save Changes and then Done Editing Rule.

To set the rule live, check off the Remove Unlicensed Data check box.

Hit the blue Save Changes button in the top right-hand corner.

Your rule is now live! Please note that the rule must materialize in Edlink, which could take a few minutes.

Once the materialization is complete, you can see the data that's currently being shared to your app via the tabs on the left-hand side of the page.
