We just deployed SSO for Canvas via Azure/Entra. It's working great; however, we do have one sticky problem. Users cannot authenticate through the Canvas app because it does note redirect them to our SSO gateway. What are we missing?
Yes, they're finding our school, but good news! Figured it out. Our CSM had to update our domain lookup to eliminate the /login/canvas in our URL.

I'm an instructional designer working with a faculty member who wants all of the students in the class to work in groups to complete a feedback form together, with contributions from each group member. The way the Canvas Collaborations instructions are written, I don't understand how to make this happen. Do we set up a…
Has anyone ever encountered this error in the Admin Analytics Student section?
My class policy is that late assignments can be accepted at professor discretion, but they will have a 50% penalty. This is a gate you pass through once, and there are no further penalties. If it's late, you simply get 50% deducted from whatever the score was. This happens regardless of whether it's 5 hours late or 5 weeks…
