Provisioning and Authenticating Accounts

Wixie accounts give students access to the authoring tool, and connect student work to their teacher, or teachers. Common ways sites provision Wixie are with Clever, a CSV upload, or by entering data manually. Wixie also supports provisioning via Canvas, Engrade, and LDAP.

You also need to choose how Wixie will authenticate your users. Most sites authenticate using Clever, Google, or passwords stored in Wixie. Wixie also supports authentication with LDAP, LTI, SAML, and Engrade.
