The Faria Accounts Portal allows users to configure primary credentials for a Single Sign-On user experience.

 

The Faria Accounts Portal

The Faria Accounts Portal permits you to:

  • Link multiple ManageBac+ accounts (ie a Parent & a Teacher, Admins at multiple Campuses etc)
  • Link additional Faria services (OpenApply, SchoolsBuddy etc)
  • Link integration partners (AssessPrep, BridgeU etc)

Once linked, you can switch between user type or service without the need to log-in or save many passwords. Note: You will need to use your Faria Accounts Portal primary credentials on all connected accounts.

First Time Sign-in

 

Important

To verify your account on the Faria Accounts Portal, you must create a strong password for you ManageBac+ account. You can find detailed information about the requirements for a strong password here.
If you are an Admin user, please ensure that weak passwords are disabled for users so that they can verify their accounts on the Faria Accounts Portal.

Visit https://accounts.faria.org/ (https://accounts.faria.cn for user accounts on ManageBac+.cn server) and sign-in using your ManageBac+ credentials. You will receive an email to verify your email address.

Clicking Confirm my account will open your Accounts homepage in a new tab, and you will have completed email verification.

If you did not receive the email or it's expired, click Resend Welcome Email from the Accounts Portal login.

Using the Faria Accounts Portal with ManageBac+

Linking ManageBac+ Accounts

Each ManageBac+ user must have a unique email address. You may have two or more accounts created for you, if each is linked to a unique email address. Using the Faria Accounts Portal, you can then link these accounts together and jump between them.

Use cases may include

  • If you have a Parent and Administrator/Teacher account at one school
  • Two accounts from different ManageBac+ schools (ie different campuses, school districts etc)

Linking an additional ManageBac+ account will allow you to access that account via the 9-tile dots button in ManageBac+.

Use the Link ManageBac+ Account button on the right navigation panel of the Account Portal home page to link your accounts.

Provide the ManageBac+ subdomain and email address and password of the account to be linked. Please note: Users with ManageBac+ accounts on our ManageBac+.cn server have to use https://accounts.faria.cn and can only link accounts that are connected to ManageBac+ instances on that server. It is not possible to link ManageBac+.com accounts to ManageBac+.cn accounts and vice versa. 

 

Switching Between ManageBac+ Accounts

Click the 9-tile dots at the top-right of your ManageBac+ account. From the dropdown, you will see any existing linked ManageBac+ accounts under Linked Accounts. Click on the item in the list to be instantly taken to the user account.
