Log in as a System Administrator in your PowerSchool instance. 2. On the left menu, select **System** \> **System Settings**. ![PowerSchool\_System \_ System Settings](https://help.schoolday.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Configuring%20SIS%20API%20Integration/PowerSchool_System%20_%20System%20Settings.png?width=670&height=649&name=PowerSchool_System%20_%20System%20Settings.png) 3. Select **Plugin Management Configuration.![PowerSchool SIS\_Plugin management Configuration](https://help.schoolday.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Configuring%20SIS%20API%20Integration/PowerSchool%20SIS_Plugin%20management%20Configuration.png?width=670&height=300&name=PowerSchool%20SIS_Plugin%20management%20Configuration.png)** 4. On the **Plugin Management Dashboard** page, click **Install. ![PowerSchool SIS\_Pugin Management Dashboard](https://help.schoolday.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Configuring%20SIS%20API%20Integration/PowerSchool%20SIS_Pugin%20Management%20Dashboard.png?width=670&height=151&name=PowerSchool%20SIS_Pugin%20Management%20Dashboard.png)** 5. On the **Plugin Install** page, select the PowerSchool plugin zip file (you can download the default PowerSchool plugin via [URL](https://dejb1k265ab05.cloudfront.net/plugins/ps_plugin_v3.zip)) and then click **Install**. **Note:** If you have not received a plugin file, please contact support@gg4l.com. ![PowerSchool SIS\_Pugin Install](https://help.schoolday.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Configuring%20SIS%20API%20Integration/PowerSchool%20SIS_Pugin%20Install.png?width=670&height=248&name=PowerSchool%20SIS_Pugin%20Install.png) 6. By default, the newly installed plugin is not enabled. Once the plugin is enabled, plugin functionality appears throughout PowerSchool. To enable the plugin, navigate to the **Plugin Configuration** page, and select the **GG4L Data Sync** checkbox. ![PowerSchool SIS\_Plugin Management Dashboard](https://help.schoolday.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Configuring%20SIS%20API%20Integration/PowerSchool%20SIS_Plugin%20Management%20Dashboard.png?width=670&height=416&name=PowerSchool%20SIS_Plugin%20Management%20Dashboard.png) 7. To confirm activation, in the **Enable Plugin** sidebar that appeared, click **Enable**. ![PowerSchool\_Enable plugin](https://help.schoolday.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Configuring%20SIS%20API%20Integration/PowerSchool_Enable%20plugin.png?width=670&height=425&name=PowerSchool_Enable%20plugin.png) Plugin enabling is completed successfully and is now ready for use. ### Configure V1 API access (PowerSchool 25.2.0.0 and newer only) **Note**:  If you are using the plugin-only import mode, skip this section.  See [Enable plugin-only import for PowerSchool](https://help.schoolday.com/knowledge/powerschool-plugin-only-import?hsLang=en) PowerSchool 25.2.0.0 and newer versions require additional configuration to enable V1 REST API access. #### Add the V1 API access setting Add `` to your plugin configuration file. This setting enables access to V1 REST API endpoints, including: - `/v1/student` - `/v1/staff` - `/v1/section` - `/v1/course` - `/v1/district` - `/v1/school` #### Understand data access permissions The `FULL` access setting enables the API endpoints but does not grant unrestricted data access. The plugin can only access data fields explicitly defined in the `` section of your plugin configuration file. Example: If `` lists specific fields from the `students` and `staff` tables, the plugin can only retrieve those fields. All other fields are not returned. #### Change the access level (optional) District administrators can modify the API access level in PowerSchool. 1. Go to **System Management** \> **Server** \> **Server Setup** \> **Plugin Configuration**. 2. Select the **GG4L Data Sync** plugin. 3. Go to **Data Provider Configuration**. 4. Choose the access level. The `` configuration still controls which data fields are accessible regardless of the access level you select. ### Update the plugin Upon successful installation and configuration of a plugin, you can update it to a new version without the need to delete and reinstall the existing plugin. 1. On the left menu, select **System** \> **System Settings**. ![PowerSchool\_System \_ System Settings](https://help.schoolday.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Configuring%20SIS%20API%20Integration/PowerSchool_System%20_%20System%20Settings.png?width=670&height=649&name=PowerSchool_System%20_%20System%20Settings.png) 2.

Select the **GG4L Data Sync** plugin. 4. Click **Update**. ![PowerSchool SIS\_GG4L Data Sync\_Update](https://help.schoolday.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base/Configuring%20SIS%20API%20Integration/PowerSchool%20SIS_GG4L%20Data%20Sync_Update.png?width=670&height=389&name=PowerSchool%20SIS_GG4L%20Data%20Sync_Update.png) 5.
