Who is this for?
✓ Admins who are new to Kami.
Welcome to the world of Kami! This guide has everything an admin needs to know to get Kami up and running for their school/domain.
Administering Kami for your school/district
As the administrator for your school/district, users rely on you in order to access and use Kami successfully. After purchasing a Kami license, the admin is responsible for managing the students and teachers assigned to that license.
For assistance with these admin tasks, refer to the following steps to ensure your school/district is set up for success with Kami:
1. Deploying the Kami browser extension
Installing the Kami browser extension and deploying it to your school/domain is key to ensuring the most seamless experience with Kami for your users, especially when using a Learning Management System to assign and complete coursework.
The Kami Private Chrome extension is installed through the Google Admin Workspace. Updates are delivered directly from Kami to your organization, so that when we deploy a fix, your classrooms get it quickly.
If you are unable to use the Private extension, the Kami extension from the Chrome Web Store or Edge Add-Ons offers an identical user experience to the Private Chrome extension; the only difference is how updates are delivered.
2. Creating a Kami admin account
You will need to have a Kami account designated for managing/installing Kami. For assistance on creating your Kami account, refer to this guide.
📝 If you are using Google OU to manage your license, make sure to create your Kami account under the email that you use to log in as an Admin in Google Workspace. This ensures you have the appropriate rights to add and change a Google OU deployment on your license.
3. App integration & requirements
Each admin will have different priorities for what to install, depending on their school/district's needs. Review each section below to find what best applies to you:
A. Configure network requirements and access to third-party apps
This is required for everyone, as it ensures your users have the access needed to use Kami.
B. Integrate Kami with your Learning Management System
Find the specific LMS used by your school/district in this collection to learn more about how to install the Kami external tool.
4. User management
After the necessary installs and deployments, remember that you manage your Kami license going forward. Refer to the following guides for administering and managing a Kami license:
