Microsoft Azure SSO
With Xello SSO, students can log into their Microsoft Azure account and then access Xello without a separate login.

- From the left menu, under Users and groups, enable access to students and educators.
- Right click on the Xello icon below, and save the image to an easily accessible location.
- In the left menu, click Properties and select Logo to locate the previously saved Xello icon.
