[ARCHIVED] Data Administrator -- Institutional Info

[danlasota]

My Institution is running a limited canvas pilot for a small subsection of our classes. I am one of the administrators. 

I'm interested in somehow accessing the info presented in paginated screens from 

Canvas > Admin > Courses

into a flat file so I can more rapidly see the contents of this data set. (I'm thinking of a flat file somewhere). This is just an example of some of the things I'll need to do to support staff and faculty at my institution. 

I have also created a new user role but I don't seem to be able to assign this new role to my account. Also none of the current admins at my institution have this role either.

Can someone point me to a guide, or a person to contact regarding this?

Hi @danlasota 

While I have never used it, have you considered Canvas Data Services?

As for your "Role" question, these resources should help you differentiate between account-level and course-level roles and how to use them.

• Canvas Account Permissions PDF
• Canvas Course Permissions PDF
• How do I add an account level role...............?
• How do I add a course level role.........?

I hope this proves helpful,
