Adding a 3rd Party account
Any user wishing to log in to SIMS Connected via their Google or Microsoft account will need to associate their 3rd party account to their SIMS ID as an alternative log-in. This must be done so that SIMS ID can verify the identity of the 3rd Party Account being used and that it is for the person singing in. The easiest way to do this is to follow the instructions to add a 3rd party account to your SIMS ID
