Sync/Link Staff User Accounts
Schools with SIS Blackbaud Integration can now sync (create and update) all their staff user accounts on Orah. For schools with an active SIS integration, the steps below will guide you to sync staff from respective SIS.
Create & Update
Email | First Last Name | Title | Mobile/Phone Number
The following base roles are synced:
-Non-Teaching Staff
-Teacher
-Dorm Supervisor
🧭 Navigate : Admin Console > Data Integration or App Directory > Integration
Use this link to go directly to the SIS integration page
☝🏽 Note - If a new Blackbaud connection has been made, it is most likely that the staff records are synced. So, if you have already synced Staff skip to view synced staff below.
Glance through the quick preview below 👇 followed by step-by-step instructions :
🧭 Navigate : App Directory (left side menu bar) > under the SIS Partners tab > Blackbaud
Step 01 |  |
Step 02 Select 'Staff' from the list of available records to sync, and click on 'Next'

Step 03 |  |
Finished ! |  |
Once the integration is completed, check for Integration success.
For existing schools - that already have staff users on Orah - running this staff sync would mean automatically connecting/linking all staff users on Orah with the SIS. This sync matches the email ID of the staff user on both platforms to do so.
For new schools - not having any staff users - running this staff sync would mean all the staff from SIS Blackbaud will be synced to Orah and will appear in the Admin Console > Staff as the imported state (which can be further configured directly on Orah to suit the needs of the school).
All the synced staff users on Orah will be linked to the SIS as denoted by 'Disconnect Blackbaud ID' under the account status. You can manually disconnect the link in case required. Note disconnect staff if not connected would re-connect when the sync runs again.
Staff Sync Settings
Schools have 2 sync options to Create or Update staff accounts or both.
Create - will create any new staff user account
If you don't want to auto-sync, it can be disabled using the Auto-Sync toggle option
Auto-sync takes place once every 24 hrs
Use the Sync button on the top right corner to manually run the sync
Use the kabab (3 dots) menu on the top right corner to remove the sync
Note removing the sync will not result in deleting the staff
🧭 Navigate : Admin Console > Data Integration or App Directory > Integration > Staff > Settings
Hope this was helpful. Orah can also import all staff from other SIS like TASS and Veracross, do let your neighbor school know about it.
