Student logins using OAuth ?
Hello.
Our domain is Google G Suite, not Microsoft. Is it possible for students to authenticate via Google Auth, or do they all need to be assigned Microsoft 365 accounts?
Also, in terms of licencing will 1 generic Microsoft email address be sufficient or do I need to create an account for every student?
Thank you.

Hey there Alan Walker,
Minecraft: Education Edition is purchased through Microsoft 365 or Office 365 accounts, and students will each need their own 365 account to log in to M:EE, with a license assigned to them. Let me know if you have further questions!

Hi Justin.
Thanks for getting back to me - much appreciated.
I think you have already answered this, but would it be possible to just create 1 generic Microsoft 365 account and assign 200+ licences to this? It wouldn't be feasible for me to create all 200+ student accounts just to generate a login for this software.
Thank you.

Hey Alan Walker,
For clarification, there is a way to have students log in via their google domain, but you'd still have to create Microsoft accounts for them and assign the M:EE licenses to them. Its a complicated process though, but you can find a guide here under option 3: https://educommunity.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360051644972-Signing-into-Minecraft-Education-Edition-on-Chromebooks-Using-Single-Sign-On
As for your most recent question, no matter what you do, there'd have to be 1 365 account per user, and you'd have to assign each M:EE license to each user to grant them access. We do have guides to make this process easier though. You cannot assign all of the licenses to a single M365 account.
Let me know if you have other questions!
