Manage Content on Access Manager
Assign content using Access Manager to control which products and materials are available to classes.
This article applies to districts that use the SSO and Auto-Rostering Access and Direct Login and Auto-Rostering Services.听
SSO applies to districts that use an SSO portal, district website, or Learning Management System (LMS) to access 糖心Vlog digital programs, and Direct Login means that teachers, students, and administrators log in at my.mheducation.com. Auto-Rostering means that account creation, class setup, and roster management are automated through a process handled by your district.

Helpful Tips
- You can assign products from multiple purchasing accounts. Most purchasing accounts are at the district level, but in some cases, a school may have their own purchasing account for their school's licenses. Click the Accounts dropdown on the Assign tab to switch to the account you wish to manage.
- When more than one product is assigned to a class, separate classes are created such that each product is assigned to its own class.听 For example, if an elementary class has both Science and Social Studies products assigned to it, teachers and students will see two classes with the same class name鈥攐ne class for Science and the other for Social Studies.
- When adding an add-on product, assign the core product first and then assign the add-on product.听 The reverse process should be followed when you听unassign听products as well鈥攔emove the add-on product first and then remove the core product. When assigning content with OneRoster庐 1.1 files, the products do not need to be listed on the files in any special order.
- When new users are added to a course via the OneRoster庐 files, each user is assigned content as the file is processed by Access Manager. If mapping by course, course mapping is maintained as long as the course 'sourcedId' does not change. You only need to map content when you create new courses or when you change the 鈥榮ourcedId鈥 for a course.
- Content should not be managed via Access Manager if you use the OneRoster庐听1.1 resources.csv to assign content.听 Only use one source for content assignments鈥攁ssign content via your OneRoster庐 1.1 files or assign content on Access Manager.
- If no master schedule is set in the SIS (Student Information System), or if the SIS does not create courses for elementary students, content may need to be assigned for individual classes, as courses will not apply to more than one class.
- To successfully create and roster all ALEKS classes, assign all ALEKS content the same way across the district鈥攅ither by class or course, but not both.听

Tip! The most efficient way to assign content on Access Manager is to assign content by course, as courses can apply to all classes across the district that use a specific product.
听
1. SSO or log in at .
2. Access听Admin Tools听and select Access Manager on the navigation menu. Access Manager will open in a new browser window.
Some customers may need to sign in directly at听.
3. Click Assign on the navigation menu.
A. If you have multiple purchasing accounts, select the account you would like to manage.
4. Click the radio button next to the product you need to assign.
5. Click the Next button.
Note: When assigning ALEKS content, be sure to select the 鈥ALEKS K12 Standard鈥 product (B) and not the 鈥ALEKS Add-On 6-12 Subscription Bundle...鈥 product (C). 听To successfully create and roster all ALEKS classes, be sure to assign the content the same way across the district鈥攅ither by class or course, but not both.
D. If assigning an ALEKS program, select the听Resource Name.
For steps on assigning ALEKS using ALEKS Master Templates, refer to the ALEKS - Master Templates on Access Manager article.
E. Click the听Next button.
6. Select Course or Class from听the drop-down menu.听Only ConnectED content can be assigned to individual Users.
7. Check the box to the left of the Course, Class, or User.
F. Use the search for courses or classes by name, ID, or code. The course and class lists should contain all courses and classes sent to us via the OneRoster庐 file or the roster sync.
G. The system automatically selects all schools for the content assignment. To limit the content assignment to specific schools, click the Assign Schools drop-down and uncheck any schools you do not want to assign the program to.
We recommend leaving all schools selected unless you are trying to filter schools out that have the course but do not need the content. Keep in mind, the content will only be assigned to the selected course(s) regardless of the schools selected.
Note: Make sure to double-check the school selections if a specific subset of schools are selected. The selections automatically get cached in the system, so all subsequent mappings will also automatically be only for that subset of schools selected.
8. Click the Assign button.
A summary page displays the product assigned to your selected courses and schools. Both Teacher and Student Editions will be assigned once a product is mapped.
