Hi- we also set up Azure SAML authentication for students and Staff. This is authentication 1. We have self-registration set up for parents - which is authentication number 2. However, when the parents receive emails from Canvas and they click on the links they are being directed to the SSO login and not the canvas login page. This is causing issues for our parents.

Hi,

This is a late reply but we create users manually and have them use the special URL that forces the use of the Canvas login screen.

We then delete the users when we're done so we don't have any hanging out that aren't being used. It works very well for us.

A small pre-submission habit that’s helped with written assignments in Canvas
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
