How do I manage badging accounts in Canvas Outcomes Assessment as an admin?
As an admin, you can manage your institution's linked badging accounts. From the Badging Accounts page, you can view a list of all linked accounts, the number of synced badges, and the date the account was last synced. You can also update a badge account name and description, re-sync a badging account to import new badges, or unlink a badging account from your account.
