If your institution is using an Edu App Center whitelist, you can manage your whitelist directly in Canvas. To apply the whitelist, you will need to know the API token created for your Edu App Center organization. The access token syncs the External Apps list at both the account and course levels to only show apps from the Edu App Center whitelist set up for the organization.

Admins can manage the app list at any time to remove or replace an access token. When an account or subaccount does not include an access token, the External Apps list displays the default app list provided by Canvas. Whitelists can only be managed at the account and subaccount levels.

Canvas only accepts one API token for an organization. A token applied at the account level automatically filters down to to all subaccounts. The Edu App Center supports creating multiple tokens for an organization, but each token directs to the same whitelist. If you want to create separate whitelists that apply to individual subaccounts, you'll need to create additional organizations in the Edu App Center and create API tokens for each whitelist.

When you integrate a student information system (SIS) in Canvas, In courses, only assignments are automatically configured to send grades to the SIS; graded discussions and quizzes have to be configured on a case-by-case basis. However, at the account level, you can configure all assignment types to be sent to your SIS automatically.

Even after setting all assignments to be sent to the SIS, instructors can still manage assignments in their courses and manually remove individual assignments, graded discussions, or quizzes that they do not want to send to your SIS. Assignments can be managed from the Assignments page and Quizzes page, or they can be managed when creating an SIS assignment, SIS graded discussion, or SIS quiz.

Note: Student information systems must be configured by your Customer Success Manager. You cannot configure your SIS submissions unless a specific feature option is enabled for your account. Learn more about feature options in the account features lesson.

As an admin, the Account Settings tab contains multiple settings you can control and change in your Canvas account.

Note: This lesson indicates the settings that you can manage for your entire account. Other integrations may be available with the assistance of your Customer Success Manager. For a full list of integrations available in Canvas, please view the Canvas integrations lesson.

In the Canvas Data Portal, the Current Users section shows admins who have been given access to the Canvas Data Portal, along with their permissions. You can edit permissions for existing admins, add new admins, and delete admins.

Canvas Data is a service from Canvas that provides admins with optimized access to their data for reporting and queries. Customers can combine their Canvas Data with data from other trusted institutions, as well as other key systems across campus such as a student information system (SIS).

The Canvas Data Administrator for an institution must be a Canvas admin. The Canvas Data Administrator must understand data governance procedures and policies for the institution and also have enough technical proficiency to understand IP address ranges and database connection strings.

Canvas Data Administrators can download flat files or view files hosted in an Amazon Redshift data warehouse. The data will be an extracted and transformed version of a school's Canvas activity and can be accessed using any open database connectivity (ODBC) analytics tool to generate custom data visualization and reports.

‬To enable Canvas Data, please contact your Customer Success Manager.
