Not getting response for one of the Canvas LMS API Endpoints

[AurosmitSahoo]

I’m trying to use the Create Enrollment Term endpoint, but I’m not getting any response back. I’m currently using the Free For Teachers version of Canvas.

Is this endpoint supported in the Free For Teachers environment, or is it only available for institution accounts? If it is supported, could someone point me in the right direction on how to get it working?

Hi @AurosmitSahoo

Keep in mind, you can only do things via the API that you have permission to do on the system as a user.

An enrollment term exists at the account level, not at the user or course level.  Creating an enrollment term is something that only administrators can do.  For the "Free for Teachers" Canvas, you do not have administrator permissions, so you cannot create a new enrollment term.
