Hi , At Ohio State we have created a process for requesting integrations in to Canvas.In addition to the core integrations, we have turned on the integrations that OSU has university wide license for such as Box, LockdownBroswer etc. For any new integrations users must submit an online form. Once it’s been reviewed by internal support team, we take the integration through a security and legal review. This process can take anywhere from 2-3 months depending on schedules, complexity of the product and other issues associated with it. So in the online form we collect a lot of information from the requestor which gives us a lot of information about what is the purpose of this integration, who is buying /paying for the tool, who will support it, who is affected by this who is main contact point etc. This also allows us to enforce the idea that this is a time consuming process and requires detailed review by several groups and lot of resources before it is approved so they want to be mindful of that as well. Once it has been cleared by Legal and Security, we install the integration in our QA environment .After thorough testing, we move it to production. We are in our first semester of Canvas in production this Summer so we have not had to do this yet but we will be interested in looking at restricting integration to certain sub accounts when needed. If you have any questions please feel free to send me a message. ... View more
