SUMMARY
Hi everyone, to get access to a student’s canvas information through the Canvas API, does only the student need to grant access or do (a) the teachers or (b) the college/university as a whole need to as well?
Thank you so much !
FURTHER DETAILS
Hello everyone !
We’re using canvas to incorporate student information in our app (for example, a student’s class schedule, grades on assignments, or number of messages sent through canvas).
Each student can generate a canvas token so that a third-party app can access their canvas account, as I understand it. I’m hoping to ask: does only the student need to generate this token to grant access, or does (a) the professor/teacher running the class or (b) the college/university need to as well?
We’d really appreciate any help figuring this out. We’re new developers and it would really help us ! Thank you so much !
I hope you’re doing well and that you have a wonderful day !
