User Management
How are User Accounts Setup?Once your subscription to Biblionasium is activated and your data is synchronized, the Destiny credentials for each user are linked to Biblionasium and the single sign-on function happens in the background.
Student and Educator accounts need to first exist in your Destiny database. If you have questions about your Destiny UserIDs, please see your Destiny Administrator. User information/ids can also come from the School's Student Information System (SIS) connected to Destiny. Once your subscription is activated, you can easily synchronize your user data. Please email us if you have any concerns regarding the single sign-on with a third party.
Once your subscription is activated and your data is synchronized, the single sign on is configured in the background and students/educators can login with their Destiny credentials. If you have any questions about your Destiny login information see your Destiny Administrator at your school or call Follett Technical Support at 800-323-3397 extension 3.

To remove accounts that have been deleted in Destiny from Biblionasium, go to MY GROUPS, ALL STUDENTS. The DELETE button will appear next to those accounts that are no longer in Destiny.

This extra step is necessary because once you DELETE a student from Biblionasium all their DATA will be permanently deleted and will not be recoverable.

What if students had a previous Biblionasium account? Can they carry over their info?Students with prior Biblionasium accounts, can merge their information (all their Bookshelves, Reviews, Recommendations, Logs, Challenges, Rewards) with their new Destiny accounts.
