I have a user who is unable to log in to Canvas using the SSO. I had to add her staff account through Canvas. I did not set a password, but she is still unable to log into Canvas using her account credentials with our Office365 SSO.
Hello @ZachFricke ,
Thank you for contacting the Instructure Community to discuss your question regarding a user being unable to log into Canvas using the SSO. Did you add the user directly to Canvas manually or through syncing from a SIS? If you click on Admin - Authentication, is the “Forgot Password URL” blank or has it been set to reset passwords via Microsoft? If it is blank, and you use Canvas to reset passwords, all they need to do is click “forgot password” and reset the password via the Canvas email. If it is set through Microsoft, you’ll need to speak with them directly. You could try giving the user a password manually within Canvas by clicking on Admin - People - and entering the password on their user page if you have those admin permissions. If you do not, I would speak with a root level admin at the school directly about this.
Further, because of the complexity of the issue, and the concerns for privacy, it would be best if you contacted Canvas Support directly to pinpoint the source of the issue and provide a resolution: How do I contact Canvas Support? - Instructure Community . Support can review the particular user's login information as well.
I hope this helps ! Again, thank you for reaching out to the Instructure Community.
How do I get logged into my school account I don't understand any of this
I am an instructor at MDC with a question (concern) regarding the "fudge points" option on the Canvas quizzes given that the term "fudge" has a connotation of dishonest manipulation or unethical assessing. We know that if we instructors word a question ambiguously or make any instructional error, we may have to compensate…
I recently had an exam provided as a Canvas Quiz in my class, and used some questions copied from question banks from other sections and prior years of the course. Some of those questions had "General Answer Comment" text already saved in them. I changed that text in several questions as I updated/changed the questions.…
I would like to suggest improvements to how collaborations function within Canvas LMS. Currently, collaborations are somewhat limited in how they can be accessed and integrated into course content. One potential improvement would be allowing collaborations to be directly linkable within Pages and Modules. This would make…
Can Canvas please create the option to use a "total points" system such that both the gradebook and the student grades page can show accumulated total points, not as a fraction of total points earned/total points possible? This would be SO helpful for progress tracking in a self-paced course where I do not want 0s entered…
