1Connect Brightspace

Your Brightspace admin registers this app inside Brightspace, then gives you its Client ID. No passwords or secrets are shared with us.

Steps for your Brightspace admin

In Brightspace, go to Admin Tools → Manage Extensibility → Service Users and create a Service User for this integration. Its role needs to look up and create users (including seeing their email in User Information Privacy), see and manage course enrollments, see course offerings, manage your student role, and, if you'll issue badges, See and Issue Badges or Certificates.
On the OAuth 2.0 tab, click Register an app and set Grant Type to Client Credentials.
Paste these values: JWKS URL

Under Service User, add the Service User from step 1, accept the agreement and click Register.
Copy the new app's Client ID into the form below.

2Student role

New students are enrolled with this role, and only users with it are imported by the sync.

Role for students

3Sync Brightspace students

Imports your existing Brightspace students as contacts, matched by email so nobody is duplicated. Run it again any time to re-sync.

Available on the paid plan Student sync is included with the paid plan. Upgrade the Brightspace Connector from your app settings in the Marketplace to unlock it.

Before you sync: marketing permissions These students are being added because they're enrolled in Brightspace, not because they agreed to receive marketing from you.

Don't send them marketing emails or texts unless you have their consent.
Workflows triggered by Contact Created or Contact Tag will run for imported students. Pause those workflows before syncing if they send messages.
Every imported contact is tagged brightspace-import so you can find and manage them.

Create a tag for each course and tag students with their enrolled courses? I understand these contacts haven't opted in to marketing.
