for teams
Teams
Build for a whole team: the team’s own tokens, events about its people, and the admin controls behind them.
- Team tokens from the Developer tab:
userfor documents and sharing,adminalso for members, invitations and policies - Each token is capped by its creator’s current role, and the team’s policy decides who may create them
- Webhooks:
member.added,member.removed,member.changed,access.changed,admin.actionand document events - Managed tokens the team issues to members, roles, policies and single sign-on
for classrooms
Classrooms
Build for a class or a school, with the protections students need built in.
- Students sign in at classroom.handwrites.io with school-made accounts; no developer access for students
- Tokens teachers issue to students, limited to chosen documents, and revocable at any time
- Minors mode: no outside sharing, personal webhooks or third-party apps
- School tokens and webhooks for teachers on the School plan; events carry IDs, never names or emails
