Lock Course Details at an Institutional Level

[rwollner]

I'm an admin at a college, and I need to lock the "Course Details" page of the "Settings" section of courses. We have several settings on this page that need to be locked for the integration of Canvas with our SIS. Faculty would be welcome to reach out to admin if they need a Course Detail adjusted, and admin will be able to determine if it will interfere with the SIS integration or not.

Is this possible? My first thought was to do this through a Blueprint course, but Blueprints seem to only allow you to lock content/objects and not the Course Details page.

Thank you!

Hi @rwollner,

You'll generally need to do this through a combination of permissions and javascript as part of your Canvas theme to try to lock don everything that can't be done with permissions.  I have some javascript code to disable a lot of different things on the course settings tab at https://github.com/cmcasey79/canvas-customizations-by-chris. 

Hope this helps a bit!
