Additional Considerations
Course Settings
To edit course settings, Courses - manage must be enabled.
People (Account)
To view or edit a user’s SIS ID or Integration ID, Users - view list and Users - manage login details must also both be enabled.
People (Course)
If this permission is enabled, users do not need the SIS Data - read permission enabled. The account permission overrides the course permission.
To disallow users from managing SIS IDs at the course level, SIS Data - manage and SIS Data - read must both be disabled.
To add or remove users to a course, the appropriate Users permission must be enabled (e.g. Users - Teachers).
SIS Import
To import SIS data, SIS Data - import must also be enabled.
Subaccounts
Not available at the subaccount level.
