This guide walks through granting app access in the Google Admin console for Google sign-in and Google Classroom scopes.
Type the Word currently appears as two web app entries in the app list. Configure both entries.

​
Why there are two app entries

  1. Official Type the Word OAuth app: Used for the main sign-in flow and basic identity data such as email and first name.
  2. Type the Word Google Classroom integration app: Allows Type the Word to access Google Classroom data for the user’s Google account.
For the smoothest setup, configure and enable both entries.

Verify in Type the Word

After both app entries are configured:

  2. Test the teacher sign-in flow.
  3. Test the student sign-in flow.
Both flows should complete without an access-denied error.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Only one app configured: Make sure both Type the Word entries are configured.
  • Access denied on sign-in: Recheck the data-access choice and scope settings.
  • Teachers work but students fail, or vice versa: One app entry likely has mismatched access settings.
  • Policy blocks app access: Check organization-level security restrictions and required approval workflows.
