Granular Permissions to Access Canvas Data?

[kellenk]

The Getting Started with Canvas Data webinar made it seem as though a Canvas data admin could give a second user access to specific tables, limited to a specific query (more granular access).  However, I can't find documentation in the guides to support that.  Is it possible to give a Canvas user access through the data portal to just the files for a specific query?

 @kellenk ​, I'm not sure of the type of information you'd like to provide specific people, but here's a great example of what can be done for Instructors using some API calls (and a little programming) - Obtaining and using Access Report data for an entire course

Hope it helps or at least gives you something to think about/try out!

 @kellenk ​, I double-checked and it appears that there are different permissions, but not to access different parts of the data.

Thank you, Kona.

Take care,
