Overview

This document explains the initial login process for staff members on a MacBook, whether it's their first time logging in or they've received a replacement device. This process will guide you through setting up your local account and syncing your Google credentials.
 

Tools/Equipment Needed

• MacBook Laptop
• Wifi or ethernet
  • Adapter if using ethernet

Staff Login

Initial Login

• Click on Sign in with Google
  • 
• Sign in with your Google sign-in credentials
• This will create a local account on the MacBook and sync the user’s Google password to the local account
  • 
• Note: If a person changes their password after the initial setup, they will need to log into the MacBook with their old password until they sync their new password with the local account on the MacBook
• Log staff members into Google Chrome, the Google Drive app, and Papercut

Returning User Login

• Click on the person icon in the top right corner and sign in with the username (Email Prefix) and password
  • 
  • 
• If apps have not been preloaded on, they will begin to load at this point
   

Admin Privileges

• The local accounts are automatically set to be a standard account and will not have admin privileges to load software or printers onto the laptop other than what is available in the Moysle Manager App and Papercut
  • If a staff member would like to load particular applications and software, they will need to contact their SPOC, who can use the technology admin account to load approved applications and software
  • If the application or software is one used by many teachers either in the school or across the District, submit an application request to the Device Team so it can be added to Mosyle Manager

Conclusion

After following these steps, your MacBook should be set up with a local account through your Google login credentials. You should now be able to access essential applications. If you find specific apps are unavailable in Mosyle Manager and are needed for your role, please submit an app request ticket.
