Hello,

We are new to Canvas and I am having issue in determining what one of the permissions allows.  The Read SIS Data permission. What does this allow a Course Role to see or do? Does anyone know? I can't find anything in the guides .

Thanks

Melissa

I tested this permission with the help of one of our support engineers and it appears that the Read SIS Data permission at the course level allows the user to view SIS IDs. Within a course, you can view SIS ID information on the users detail page (accessed through People), in the gradebook csv export, and in course settings (course details and sections). I have updated the Canvas Course Role Permissions document to reflect this information.

Hope this helps!
