The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December. Read our blog post for more info about this change.
My questions today have to do with this setting:
Question 1: I looked in the Admin settings and could not find anything, but is there a way to change the default for this course option?
Question 2: Is there a way to pull a report on which courses have which setting? This isn't an option on the Reports tab. I haven't yet looked through the APIs and I'm not skilled with those anyway. If there is a way to do this with API, a quick pointer would be appreciated.
Thanks
Valerie
Solved! Go to Solution.
According to the docs, you should be able to get "license" via a Get a single course (Courses - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation).
However, this field is not coming back. You can update it okay with the API (Courses - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation). Maybe there is a bug with the GET.

Thank you pklove!
Actually, you can get it if you add it as an undocumented include.
For example:
.../api/v1/courses/123?include[]=license
@rake_9 I should have thought of this earlier - I've used it on other fields like self-enrolment. And it works for many of the endpoints and fields.
