Google Integration and Username Field

Administration
1

Good day. We have set User’s Username field to contain the Employee ID (example “FS2018001”) or the Student ID (example “2021004”) so it can be auto-incremented. And we encoded the email address in User’s Email field (example “ancheta.ang@[domain]”). We have not setup the server’s mail transfer agent.

If we will use Google Integration will this setup work?

  1. A new student “Barry Brandt” will be added in Gibbon as Username = “2022002” and Email = “barry.brandt@[domain]”
  2. The new student’s email address will be created in gmail as “barry.brandt@[domain]”
  3. If the new user logs into gmail using email address “barry.brandt@[domain]”, opening Gibbon website will log that user as Username “2022002”

Or if we set the new user as Username = “2022002”, then the Email field should be “2022002@[domain]”?

Hi Richard,

Your first scenario is correct, you can use username 2022002 and email barry.brandt@[domain], and the user can login via Google with barry.brandt@[domain] as long as that email is registered with your Google Admin domain. I know one school that is setup exactly like this and it works quite well.

Cheers,
Sandra
