1. Open the More menu on the Admin > Domain screen, and select SIS sync.

2. If you have not specified sync settings in your domain or want to change them, click Edit settings.

3. On the SIS settings [Beta] card, you can check the Allow rostering from the SIS box to use the OneRoster REST API to sync your data. To do this, you must provide the following values:
   • SIS name (enter the name of the SIS).
   • API Base URL (acquire from your SIS).
   • Authentication method:
     • If you select Key and secret, provide:
       • API Key (acquire from your SIS).
       • API Secret (acquire from your SIS).
       • API Token URL (optional, acquire from your SIS).
     • If you select Access token, you need only to provide the Access token (acquire from your SIS).

4. You can also check the Allow grades to be sent to SIS to enable Grade passback [Beta].

5. On the General settings card:
   • Choose your Time zone for courses and enrollment dates.

     • Create a base course for each domain in the uploaded file.
     • Create a base course for each teacher in the uploaded file.
     • Create a teacher base course for each term in the uploaded file.
   • Use the dropdown to indicate whether you want to Delete or Do nothing with Un-shared courses (Un-shared courses are courses that were previously shared with and created in Buzz, but are no longer being shared).

5. On the Enrollment settings card:
   • Choose which role in Buzz you want teachers to be given on upload.
   • Choose which role in Buzz you want students to be given on upload.
   • Use the dropdown to indicate which of the following you want to do with Un-shared enrollments on upload (Un-shared enrollments are enrollments that were previously shared with and created in Buzz, but are no longer being shared):
     • Do nothing
     • Mark as inactive
     • Mark as withdrawn
     • Delete
   • Check the box if you want to Ignore start and end dates from the SIS and use them from Buzz.

6. On the User settings card, use the dropdown to indicate which of the following you want to do with Un-shared users on upload (Un-shared users are users that were previously shared with and created in Buzz, but are no longer being shared):
   • Do nothing
   • Mark as inactive
   • Delete

7. Save.

Once you have set up your SIS sync settings, there are two ways to sync your OneRoster data in Buzz:  

1. Using OneRoster's REST APIs, which enables direct system exchanges.
   • API sync with Buzz [Beta]
2. Using spreadsheet-style (CSV), which supports file importing. With this approach, you can do either of the following:
   • Import CSV directly into Buzz with File sync
   • Import CSV with FTP

The Admin > SIS Sync > Status screen displays:

1. Your sync history.
2. Details, including successes/failures.

If you entered an email address in your SIS Sync settings, you will also receive a confirmation email.
