How do I find out the account_id

Someone already created some Sub Accounts ( Departments) in our Canvas Portal, and here is my question:

- Can I find out what that account_id is so I can add that line to my account.csv file?

- When creating sub-account in UI, there is no way to add the account_id, only NAME

- Is there a way to batch-create more than 1 sub-account?

Thanks everyone

Quan,

You will want to go one step further when you access the sub-account. Click on the Settings for that sub-account and look at the SIS ID value. This will give you the account_id value to enter for the csv file import. At my institution, each college code from our SIS was used as the account_id (or SIS ID) for Canvas.

This is an example:
