I am working with FACTS/RenWeb SIS support to connect the SIS with Canvas. They are asking for the Canvas Production Token (and Sandbox). How do I generate the appropriate token for RenWeb or if it already exists, where is it found?
Hi @Nethers,
I'm going to take a guess that you need to generate an API token. a token is tied to a specific user account, and is pretty easy to generate when logged in. The tricky part is what account you want to tie that token to and what kind of permissions/role you want to allow. We created a custom role and a specific user account for our SIS integration (notFACTS/RenWeb, but the this advice is pretty universal) to limit permissions to only what we needed, and segment the SIS off from any specific person who might retire or leave later on. FACTS/RenWeb should hopefully be ablke to tell you what exact account permissions they need so you can create a role and user, then generate the token from that account.
Hope this helps!

Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
