Hi there! I understand some students are seeing the message, "We require some permissions from your Google Classroom account," when using the Wayground app. I'd like to help you resolve this.
Just to make sure I fully understand—are all students seeing this message, or only a few? Also, are they signing in using their Google accounts directly from the Wayground app, or through some school portal? Sometimes permission issues can arise if the app hasn't been authorized correctly by the Google Classroom account.
Here are a few steps to try:
1. Have students reauthorize their Google Classroom connection: - Ask the students to log out of Wayground. - Then, when they log back in, make sure to carefully accept the permissions the app requests from their Google account. These permissions typically allow Wayground to access classroom rosters or assignments.
2. Check Google Workspace Admin Settings (if applicable): - If your school uses Google Workspace for Education, the admin might need to approve third-party app access for Wayground. - You can reach out to the Google Workspace admin to verify that Wayground is whitelisted for accessing Google Classroom data.
3. Clear cached permissions or cookies on their browser: - Since the students are on WebKit with Windows 10, clearing browser cache and cookies related to Google accounts might help reset stored permissions that went awry.
4. Update the Wayground app or browser: - Make sure the student app and browser are up to date, since outdated versions can sometimes have issues with authentication flows.
If the students continue to see permission errors after these steps, could you let me know if the problem occurs consistently for certain users or devices? We might then need to look into advanced settings or escalate to developers for a closer look.
Are you comfortable trying these steps? Let me know how it goes or if you need help with any part!
