Does anyone know if there's a contract requirement for Clever Rostering and/or SSO? I'd like to utilize it for authentication. We also have McGraw Hill's tool that's trying to authenticate our users with their LTI tool, but we're getting an OAuth error because I think it's trying to validate the users using the current SAML authentication method. Because McGraw Hill is rostered with Clever, I believe we will continue to get errors until we roster Canvas with Clever also - this way the users match up. Does this sound accurate?

We use SSO from Clever to Canvas and we use PowerSchool SIS to roster Students, Staff, terms, and courses.sections to Canvas.
You'll need a way to sync the fields that Canvas and Clever share. If McGraw Hill's tool syncs that data to clever already, you should be good to go. Advanced settings allows you to custom map/select the proper matching fields if Clever doesn't know them already. If additional fields are needed to be mapped from your SIS to Clever you may need to reach out to Clever, or use the SFTP upload option to do a manual SFTP sync to add any missing/required data fields.
