Instructions on this page are meant to provide general guidance. You may need to contact the ClassLink support team (helpdesk@classlink.com) in order to complete this process.

For Single Sign-On (SSO) with ClassLink, Compass Curriculum uses the SAML connection feature within ClassLink.
Please ensure you've added Navigate360 to the Roster Server connections prior to setting up SAML.
How to Setup ClassLink Rostering
Generating the IDP Link in the ClassLink SAML Console
- Access your ClassLink Management Console (launchpad.classlink.com)

2. In the left column menu, select the drop down for Single Sign-On, click SAML Console

3. On the SAML Console screen, click “Copy Existing". Search "Compass" at the top, and click “Copy”.
- Some existing connections may say Suite360/Evolution Labs. If these connections exist, please remove them and proceed with the steps outlined in this article.

4. Click on the page icon to copy the Idp Metadata URL

5. Provide the copied URL to the Navigate360 team by reaching out to tech@navigate360.com, or your Educational Support Consultant if you are completing initial onboarding.
⚠️The team at Navigate360 will take the shared URL to generate a new Metadata URL.
They will reply with the NEW Metadata URL. If you are sent an email with three links, only the Metadata URL will be used. The ACS URL and Start URL are no longer used in this process.
Adding the New Metadata URL to the ClassLink SAML Console
Once you receive the NEW Metadata URL from the Navigate360 team,
- Access your ClassLink Management Console (launchpad.classlink.com)
- In the left column menu, select the drop down for “Single Sign-On”
- Click SAML Console
- Locate the previously created Compass entry
- Under the Tasks column, click the 3-dots and “Edit”
6. Under the Metadata field, click “Metadata URL” (shown in the purple box). This tells ClassLink the expected format of the data you are about to enter.

7. After clicking Metadata URL, paste the new Metadata URL that the Navigate360 team provided to you via email.
8. Click “Update”. No other fields are required on this page
