# SIS Data - manage

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Welcome to Our New API Docs!** This is the new home for all things API (previously at [Canvas LMS REST API Documentation](https://api.instructure.com)).

## SIS Data - manage

### What it Does

#### Account Navigation

Determines visibility of SIS Import link in Account Navigation.

Allows user to view the previous SIS import dates, errors, and imported items.

#### Course Settings

Allows user to edit the course SIS ID.

#### People (Account)

Allows user to view and edit the SIS ID and Integration ID in a user’s Login Details.

#### People (Course)

Allows user to edit the course SIS ID.

#### Subaccount Settings

Allows user to view and insert data in the SIS ID field.

### Additional Considerations

#### Course Settings

To edit course settings, Courses - manage must be enabled.

#### People (Account)

To view or edit a user’s SIS ID or Integration ID, Users - view list and Users - manage login details must also both be enabled.

#### People (Course)

If this permission is enabled, users do not need the SIS Data - read permission enabled. The account permission overrides the course permission.

To disallow users from managing SIS IDs at the course level, SIS Data - manage and SIS Data - read must both be disabled.

To add or remove users to a course, the appropriate Users permission must be enabled (e.g. Users - Teachers).

#### SIS Import

To import SIS data, SIS Data - import must also be enabled.

#### Subaccounts

Not available at the subaccount level.
