itopia CloudApps Classroom delivers high-performance Windows applications to students and instructors using a chromium-based browser. Getting your CloudApps environment ready only takes a few minutes, and you can be up and running in no time at all.

You’ll start from your District Dashboard. This Dashboard provides an overview of your environment and allows you to manage district-wide settings as well as individual schools.

4. When you’re finished, click Create.

Access to a lab can be granted via Direct Assignment, but itopia also provides the ability to integrate with multiple third-party rostering solutions to make lab assignments a simple task.

From the District Dashboard, locate the Configuration card → click Set Up Now under the Roster Sync section. Then, follow the prompts to log in to your rostering platform.

You can find more information about syncing with third-party platforms here: Roster Syncing with Third-Party Platforms

The Google Workspace Single Sign-on configuration allows students and instructors the ability to transfer their login session from the student portal (https://labs.itopia.com) to their lab once the lab session is initiated.

This offers a simpler experience for users, since they won’t need to authenticate again after their session has started.

The District Administrator is responsible for configuring Google Workspace and Single Sign-on (SSO) for their CloudApps environment. Learn more about configuring SSO here: Single Sign-On Integration Setup

Each District can have one or more Schools within it.

Head to the District Dashboard, then locate the Schools tile → click +New.

Give the School a name and assign a primary administrator. Click Create when you’re ready.

You can add specific URLs or domains to your District’s Domain Allow List using the Labs Admin Console (https://labs-admin.itopia.com).

The Domain Allow List supports the following formats:

To edit your district’s Domain Allow List:

1. Log in to the Labs Admin Console as an administrator with Editor or higher privileges for the District you’d like to configure.

2. Find the District Policies tile → click Edit.

3. Enter the URLs you want to allow access to.

4. When you’re finished, click Save.

Any new Class sessions that are started will automatically receive the new Allow Lists; sessions that are currently running will need to be restarted.
