Learnworlds-SSO

Description

The LearnWorlds SSO plugin connects a WordPress site with your LearnWorlds School for seamless browsing between them. It creates accounts, signs users in and keeps user login in both sites.

This plugin requires a plan that includes SSO/API integration with LearnWorlds. You will need to contact the LearnWorlds support to receive the API credentials.

The LearnWorlds SSO plugin Improves the browsing experience of your students, by taking away the need to create new accounts or re-enter an email/password.

Easy Setup

You can now connect your website’s login with LearnWorlds for a seamless browsing experience without the need to have a technical team at your side. The plugin provides a widget and also a shortcode that you may use to create SSO links from your WordPress site to your LearnWorlds School.
An example of a shortcode might be:
[learnworlds-sso-link url="https://myschool.learnworlds.com" text="Login to school" logged-in-text="Go to school"]

WooCommerce Compatible

This plugin also supports the WooCommerce plugin and allows your website to use the default account management pages that are installed by the WooCommerce plugin.

Automatically Updates Email

Every time a registered Learnworlds users changes their e-mail in their WordPress profile, the plugin updates that e-mail to the Learnworlds database as well.

SSO, advantages and Disavantages

bethybest April 26, 2019

The plugin seemed interesting, indeed it saves time by allowing learners to connect directly to its wordpress site, but the problem is that all learners you have already created on learnwords will automatically be overpriced once the SSO is activated. Technically it works well. Disadvantages : Users already registered in the learnworlds platform will “lose” their LearnWorlds account and will have to create an account on the Wordpress / WooCommerce site in case they do not already have it. Otherwise, they will not be able to connect to the learnworlds training platform. Thanks you
