Caution: For standalone Classroom accounts that are not integrated with MC Professional, MC Trade, or WildApricot, make sure the Visible only upon distribution checkbox is selected when you assign member groups to a package. If it is cleared, the course is available to all front-end users free of charge. If your Classroom account is integrated with MC Professional, MC Trade, or WildApricot, selecting this option hides all packages on your front-end website.

To make sure your SSO integration between Classroom and MC Professional works, configure these items correctly in MC Professional.

Many groups include a link to their Classroom on their site. Members select the link and go straight to Classroom in a logged-in state.

Caution: For the link to work properly, it must include /en/connect/memberclicks at the end.

For example, if your Classroom URL is https://mcu.mclms.net, the link to include on your site is https://mcu.mclms.net/en/connect/memberclicks.

Setting Profile Owner Attribute Security

These attributes must be at least viewable, if not editable, in Profile Owner Attribute Security. This applies to all member types and groups that should have Classroom access:

  • [Name | First]
  • [Name | Last]
  • [Email | Primary]
  • [Group]
  • [Member Type]

Any other attributes that you send from MC Professional to Classroom for each profile also need Can View or Can Edit permissions. To check the permissions:

  1. In MC Professional, go to Database > Attributes to open Attribute Management.
  2. Select Profile Owner Attribute Security.

    The Profile Owner Attribute Security page in Attribute Management

  3. Set each of the attributes to Can View or Can Edit for each member type that accesses MC | Classroom.
  4. Select Save.

Putting users in groups

For each group that you created in MC Professional, the same exact group name must exist in Classroom. Without this link between commonly named groups, your SSO doesn’t work properly.
