I am trying to log in with Clever and CommonLit is telling me that my role type in not supported. Can I log in with Clever as an administrator?

The free version of the CommonLit - Clever integration does not support Single Sign-On (SSO) for staff members, including school and district administrators. Therefore, shared staff users may receive the following error message when trying to use Clever SSO to log into CommonLit:

One reason CommonLit does not support SSO for staff members is that administrators do not have any special features on the free platform. If an administrator has classes in Clever that need to be imported to CommonLit, we recommend logging into their teacher account in Clever before trying to log into CommonLit.


CommonLit School Essentials and School Essentials PRO packages support Clever SSO for staff and administrators. Administrators under our School Essentials PRO plan can use these accounts to access administrator-level features, including administrator data dashboards.
