Use organizational data sharing in Apple School Manager
Organizational data sharing uses a REST API called Roster API that allows third-party education apps to automatically access and sync user and class information that’s in Apple School Manager. This saves Apple School Manager administrators and instructors from the manual task of creating student and class records using a third-party app or service.
Before you can share your organization’s data with apps, those apps must be approved to use Sign in with Apple.
To start the authorization process for a specific app, contact the app developer. If they support the Roster API, they provide you with the URL to visit so you can create the connection with your Apple School Manager organization.
The Administrator and Site Manager can also:
Manually approve access through a standard OAuth authorization flow so that the third-party app can fetch data.
Revoke data sharing at any time.
Limit which apps are allowed to connect to the Roster API by creating a list of allowed apps.
