[ARCHIVED] How to use the Courses API to adjust a global setting?
I need help writing a script. I would like to use the API to check the "hide_final_grades" box for all of the courses in our Canvas Account / instance. Is this possible? If so, what is the best way to go about doing this? I am not a programmer, just a K-12 Admin. Thank you!
krismcaloon in the 'Courses' section of your account settings, try turning on the feature option 'Multiple Grading Periods' (even if you don't use them.) Then turn off Display Totals for "All Grading Periods". Of course, try this in your test instance first to see if it gives you the desired results.
Due to the technical nature of this question I'm going to share this with the Canvas Developers group in the Community. They are the ones who do a lot of this back-end programming so hopefully they can help!
Garth Egbert Thank you for agreeing to help. It looks like the solution from Mike below worked. It doesn't change the setting for the courses per se, but it has the same effect.
