I'm a Learning App Developer. Why Do Google Classroom Users Not Have Roles?

Hey Developer! Wondering why your Google Classroom users don't have an assigned role in the Edlink dashboard?

Let's discuss.

There Are No Roles in Google Classroom

Google Classroom doesn't assign roles such as teacher, student, or admin to their users. Due to this, we can't sync roles to your application using Google Classroom alone.

Take advantage of our data enrichment feature. This feature uses the school or district's SIS to provide user roles that we can then sync.
