On your Padlet go to your Share menu. You should see the option to "Add to your LMS as an external tool". Go ahead and click on that. You'll be presented with an option and some information that you'll need to copy and later paste.

(If you're using our Backpack School-wide plan, you're in luck. You can add unlimited student and teacher accounts. Otherwise the Backpack subscription is charged for each teacher account.)

As the administrator (or the person called the "owner" of the Backpack school), a "Manage people" button exists on your Dashboard.

Through the "Manage people" portal you can add user accounts. You can also

change a student account's role to "teacher"

suspend a user (suspended users will no longer be able to log in)

view a user's profile

delete a user's account (all the content they've created)

Adding more than one user at a time
If you have a CSV file of accounts you’d like to enter, you can also add them via the Add User button at Manage people portal as well. You can also forward it to hello@padlet.com and we can handle this for you (it usually takes at most 5 business days). Read about how here

Go to your LMS (for the purposes of this demonstration we'll be using Moodle). You should be logged in and should have permissions to add activities/resources. Add an activity or resource as an External Tool, then proceed to paste each field from your Padlet into its matching one in your LMS. What we are showing you here won't match up exactly, but it should be pretty close.

Setting the default privacy for all new Padlets

# data[].attributes.body
You can set the default privacy for all new Padlets created to either Secret or Organization-wide. Read more below.

For users of Basic and Pro accounts, "visitors can write," is the default for privacy settings. Not to worry- you can change this individually for each padlet you create to either "can read," or "can edit" if you choose.

If you would like to change the visitor permission settings on a padlet that you did not create, one workaround would be for you to remake the padlet and then change the visitor permissions to your liking.

Backpack and Briefcase admins have the ability to change the default privacy settings for their domain. They have the option of either selecting org-wide, secret, or private as the default.

How did we do?

If users have Google or Microsoft accounts issued by the school, they may also register on their own.

The admin must enable third party log in for the account.

1. From the dashboard, click your avatar
2. Click Settings >> Organization info >> Enable third party login
3. Choose an option for log in and add alternative domain if any

Note: If teachers are using the Google or Microsoft button to register, they'll be assigned 'student' accounts. The admin has to change role from student to teacher.
