We recommend that the Canvas Utility Account that will be used for the integration between Canvas Archiving and Canvas have full admin permission, 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 Root Account permissions are needed at the Root Account in Canvas.
The Subaccount permissions are needed, for the subaccount that is used in the integration.
e.g. if you are using the root account, in your integration, you will want the subaccount permissions enabled at the root account.
