SIS connections

Connecting Blackbaud

Blackbaud connects over OAuth 2.0 AC with a one-click authorization. nOS only ever reads from Blackbaud.

  1. Give the Blackbaud user who will sign in the roles below.
  2. If Connect with Blackbaud shows above, choose it, sign in as that user and approve nOS. You're done.
  3. Otherwise use your own SKY application: in the SKY Developer portal open My applications, register one, and add the Redirect URI below exactly.
  4. Open My subscriptions, add the School API, and paste its subscription key, the Application ID and an Application secret here.
  5. A Blackbaud user with the Marketplace permission connects your application (Marketplace → Manage → Connect app). Then choose Connect with Blackbaud.

Permissions to enable:

  • SKY API Data Sync (required). Lets the user reach the API and your school levels.
  • Platform Manager (required). Students and teachers.
  • Academic Group Manager (required). Courses, classes and class rosters.

Blackbaud's School API has no course-request resource, so upload a Requests workbook for next year's choices. nOS only ever reads from Blackbaud.
