Approve Quollyo for your students
The short version
- Google blocks students designated as under 18 from signing in to any third-party app until an admin configures it. Quollyo is no exception.
- To allow it: Admin console → Security → Access and data control → API controls → Manage Third-Party App Access, find Quollyo by its Client ID below, and set access for your student organizational units.
- Quollyo asks only for read-only access to a student's own classes and assignments. It can never submit, change or delete anything.
1. What you need
| App name | Quollyo |
|---|---|
| Type | Web application |
| OAuth Client ID | 411392720962-3idosob2ltn1ejs43kqh8i6m76j29nil.apps.googleusercontent.com |
| Google status | Published (in production), with app branding verified by Google |
| Website | quollyo.com (the app is at quollyo.com/app) |
| Privacy | Privacy Policy · NY Education Law §2-d · Terms |
You need a Google Workspace for Education admin account with permission to manage API controls.
2. What Quollyo can access
Quollyo requests these Google permissions, and no others. Google classifies all of them as non-sensitive.
| Permission | What Quollyo uses it for |
|---|---|
openid, userinfo.email, userinfo.profile | Sign-in: the student's name, school email and profile picture |
classroom.courses.readonly | The student's class names and sections |
classroom.coursework.me.readonly | The student's own assignments, due dates, teacher instructions and turned-in status. Google may also list this permission under its older name, classroom.student-submissions.me.readonly. Google describes it to students as "View your course work and grades"; Quollyo doesn't use or display grades. |
Quollyo does not use grades, announcements, class materials, rosters or other students' work. Study data is kept in the student's own browser, not on Quollyo's servers.
If a student chooses the optional AI study features (flashcards, practice questions and hint-first study help), the assignment title, the teacher's instructions and the student's questions are sent through Quollyo's server function to its AI provider, Anthropic (the Claude API), to create the study material. Nothing is stored after the answer is returned, and under Anthropic's commercial terms the data isn't used to train its models. See the Privacy Policy for details.
3. Allow Quollyo
Option A: Add Quollyo before students ask (recommended)
- Sign in to the Google Admin console with your admin account.
- Go to Menu → Security → Access and data control → API controls.
- Under App access control, click Manage Third-Party App Access.
- Click Configure new app (in some consoles, Add app), then choose OAuth App Name Or Client ID.
- Paste the Client ID from section 1 and click Search.
- Point to Quollyo in the results and click Select. Check the box for the Client ID and click Select again.
- Under Scope, choose the organizational units for the students and teachers who should use Quollyo (or your whole organization), then click Continue.
- Under Access to Google data, choose an option (see below), click Continue, review your choices and click Finish.
Option B: Approve a student's request
When a student designated as under 18 tries to sign in to Quollyo before it's configured, Google blocks them and offers a Request access link. Their request appears in your Admin console:
- In the Admin console, go to Menu → Security → Access and data control → API controls.
- Under App access control, click Apps pending review.
- Point to Quollyo and click Configure access.
- Choose the organizational units and the access option (see below), then click Configure access.
Which access option to choose
- Specific Google data (recommended): lets students sign in, and limits Quollyo to the Google data you choose. Select the Google Classroom permissions from section 2.
- Trusted: also works. Quollyo will still request only the read-only permissions in section 2.
- Blocked: students can't sign in to Quollyo.
Changes usually take effect within minutes, but Google says they can take up to 24 hours.
4. Check that it works
- Sign in at quollyo.com/app with a student test account in one of the organizational units you configured.
- On Google's permission screen, the student taps Select all (or checks both Classroom boxes) and Continue.
- The student's classes and assignments appear in Quollyo's "What's due" list.
Before Quollyo is configured, students designated as under 18 see a Google message such as "Access blocked: [school] has not approved this app" or "Access to your account data is restricted by policies within your organization." Seeing it after setup usually means the student's organizational unit isn't included yet.
Still blocked? Confirm the Client ID matches exactly, that the student's organizational unit is included, and that 24 hours have passed.
5. Before you allow students under 18
- Quollyo is for students 13 and older. Students confirm their age before signing in.
- Google notes that your organization is responsible for getting any parental consent your policies or the law require before allowing students under 18 to use third-party apps.
- New York schools: Quollyo's Education Law §2-d commitments and supplemental information are at quollyo.com/student-data-privacy. We'll sign your data privacy agreement where appropriate.
