SIS Data - manage

Welcome to Our New API Docs! This is the new home for all things API (previously at Canvas LMS REST API Documentation).

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.
