Transition to Blackbaud ID by September 27, 2022

Published

Here's an important reminder regarding transitioning to Blackbaud ID before September 27 and all of the benefits your school gains by doing so.

Blackbaud ID is a platform capability that exclusively focuses on authentication and staying current with the ever-evolving security landscape. By transitioning to Blackbaud ID, your data is secured behind stronger authentication standards, and the BBEM development team can focus on other mission-driven initiatives to better serve you.

As of September 27, 2022, ALL users logging into Blackbaud Education Management™ will be required to use Blackbaud ID to access the solution. Unregistered users – those with only a username and password – will be locked out of Blackbaud Education Management, including but not limited to:
  • Platform Managers
  • Faculty
  • Students
  • Parents
What do I need to do?
  1. Set up Single Sign-on (SSO) (recommended).
    1. If you have SSO set up in Core but not in the Admin Console, you will need to establish a new SSO connection directly within Admin Console for your BBID accounts.
  2. Customize your BBID login page branding, sumarry, and login help link text on the BBID login page.
  3. Customize your BBID invitation notification under Core > Communication > Notifications > User Management category - “Blackbaud ID Invite.”
  4. Invite users to log in using BBID.
Recent enhancements for Blackbaud ID authentication in Blackbaud Education Management:
  • You can now opt into the BBID requirement ahead of time. On the Blackbaud ID authentication page in Core, simply select the Enforce Blackbaud ID authentication button to disable legacy authentication. We recommend doing this to ensure you are prepared to support your community in the back-to-school rush.
  • Accounts can be Enabled and Disabled in bulk from the Blackbaud ID authentication page under Core > Security > Blackbaud ID authentication Unregistered tab.
  • View last invited and last connected dates on the Awaiting Response tab.
  • Users can now sign up/in for Blackbaud ID using Sign in with Apple. Check out the how-to videos on our YouTube channel: Connect Apple ID and Disconnect Apple ID
