Whatever your role is in SchoolDay (parent/guardian, Application Partner (Vendor Admin), District Admin, or other) you can easily gain access to the platform.

There are two different ways to sign in to SchoolDay:

- Single Sign-On (SSO): Authenticate using an external identity provider (IdP), such as Google or Microsoft ADFS.
- SchoolDay credentials: If your district does not have SSO, use a generic sign-in method using an email address and password.

Your options will depend on your SSO settings. You can use any method to log in to SchoolDay across all applications.

### SchoolDay accounts

To access a SchoolDay, you must first have a SchoolDay account. If you have not yet created an account, follow the links below to get started. Learn how to get started with SchoolDay as a [District Admin](https://help.schoolday.com/knowledge/configure-schoolday-district?hsLang=en)or as an [Application Partner (Vendor Admin)](https://help.schoolday.com/knowledge/get-started-as-vendor-admin?hsLang=en).

If you are a teacher, parent, or student without an account, please contact your School District\`s IT Admin.

### District Admin sign-in via SSO

If your organization has previously configured one or more [SSO methods](https://help.gg4l.com/knowledge/single-sign-on-sso-overview?hsLang=en), you can log in using the SSO method that has been set up.

1. Access [sso.gg4l.com](https://sso.gg4l.com/). Alternatively, go to [gg4l.com](https://gg4l.com/), click **Login with SchoolDay** in the top-right corner, and then click **Sign in as District**.
2. Enter your organization name (school or district). SchoolDay will check your organization to make sure it's registered in the system. If the organization is registered, you'll be able to continue.
3. Click **Sign in with \[your SSO provider\]** (for example, **Sign in with Google**).
