IntelliBoard strongly recommends that the individual installing the IntelliBoard plugin and creating the Moodle connection be the Site Administrator of the LMS. The LMS user connecting IntelliBoard to Moodle must have permissions to enable web services, modify web protocols, and create Moodle tokens.
IntelliBoard is a web-based service. If access to your LMS site is behind a firewall, you would be need to configure IP address and ports for IntelliBoard services for a successful connection.
To Create a Moodle Connection:
After logging on to IntelliBoard with the main subscription email, click Settings
From Settings, click Servers
From Servers, click + Add New
To Add Moodle Site to IntelliBoard:
Add your LMS Name (For identification purposes only)
Add your URL (Must be accessible from the internet; please be careful with https:// or http://, site dependent)
Add your Token (Copy and paste from your Moodle; find how to create token here: https://intelliboard.atlassian.net/wiki/x/AoCpjg)

Note: If everything is good, you'll see 2 green check marks near your URL and Token and your Connection Status (in the top right corner) will get green smiley.

Frequently Asked Questions:
STEP ONE
We know this sounds silly, are you signing on with the email/password assigned with your IntelliBoard subscription? (There are so many passwords these days!) Remember there is one main email associated with your IntelliBoard subscription. (You may have other users who can access IntelliBoard through Sub Accounts/IB users, but there is only one email associated with the IntelliBoard subscription.) Also please make sure you are signing on to IntelliBoard Lite instead of IntelliBoard Pro.
STEP TWO
From IntelliBoard site, go to Settings > Servers
Click on the Moodle connection link (or the gear icon on the right-hand side) to access the connection editing page
From here, make sure all of the blocks are filled out with your Instance's information
Scroll to Advanced Settings, and check the Active Connection for your Moodle instance
Click Save
STEP THREE
The IntelliBoard Lite plugin includes a security update requiring the main subscription information to be included in the settings within your LMS system.
From your LMS, go to Site Administration > Plugins > Local Plugins > IntelliBoard.net Plugin
Under Subscription Information, add the email address associated with the main IntelliBoard subscription
Click Save changes
