LTI app registration

[PraveenShukla]

Hi Folks,

I am registering for LTI for account level, course navigation, and user an account level within a sub-account. However, after registration, I can see the LTI  launch link in the course navigation, and account navigation, but I cannot see it in the user account. When I do the registration on the main account, I can see it in the user profile, but it is visible to all users. I want the LTI launch link to appear in the user profile of the sub-account where I am registering. Is it possible to do this? 

I am following the standard way to register external tools but have had no luck. is it possible to show LTI launch URL to only sub-account users as it works perfectly for the sub-account course and it only gets added inside sub-account courses but not getting added to the user profile of the sub-account users?

is it at all possible to add LTI launch in user  profile vai sub-account inside canvas ?

please help.

Thanks,

Praveen

Hi @PraveenShukla,

As far as I know, for user_navigation items to display, the LTI does need to be installed at the root account.  I believe this is because the user accounts and global navigation menu (which the user_navigation is part of) are really derived from the root Canvas account and not subaccounts.

I hope this helps a bit!

Hi,

It is NOT possible to add an LTI launch link to the user profile via a subaccount in Canvas. Users are at the root account, so it should be possible to do it from an LTI installed in the root account. 

Yours from another school that exists as a subaccount to a district root account,
