October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and there’s no better time to learn about ClassLink tools and updates that keep your schools safe, connected, and efficient. This month, we’re excited to share important product updates, new partner integrations, and powerful security enhancements—all designed to give your staff, students, and community peace of mind.
Here’s something you might not know (but will want to): Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is one of the fastest, simplest, and most effective ways to lock down your school’s digital environment. And the best part? MFA is included in ClassLink. No hidden costs. No hoops. Just stronger security.
MFA is also even easier to roll out with new features like this:
IP-Based MFA Bypass – allow students (and perhaps teachers) to skip their MFA if they're signing in from a trusted network range, like your school.

The bottom line? Cybersecurity month is the perfect time to strengthen your defenses. Turn on MFA and give your staff, students, and community peace of mind.

Granular User Role Permissions with OneRoster 1.2
Now you can assign apps by both role and organization. That means more precise control, so only the right people get the right access. It’s especially handy for unique cases, like staff who are also parents and need different permissions for each role.
Custom Export for Renaissance with OneRoster 1.2
Build a custom export template to import users directly into the Renaissance platform, even if you don’t have automatic sync licensing. It’s a simple way to get the data where it needs to go, without the extra hurdles.
