How do I configure an external app for a course using a client ID?
External apps that support LTI 1.3 and LTI Advantage require configuration using a client ID. To find the client ID, talk to your Canvas Admin.
Note: Manually configuring an external app is an account permission. If you cannot configure an external app, this permission has not been enabled for your user role.
