We recommed that the Canvas Utility Account that will be used for the integration between Canvas Archiving and Canvas have full admin permisssion, to prevent any potential permission issues that could arise.

However, we understand the security needs, to have limited access. For that reason, we have identified the Canvas permissions that are needed in order to successfully import courses from Canvas to Canvas Archiving, as well as restore and sync courses to Canvas.

Note

  • The subaccount permissions are needed for each subaccount that courses will be imported from, restored, or synced.

  • These permissions may changed based on any Canvas permissions changes.
