Hi,
Can I as a Canvas admin see whether a given Person's login account is based on Canvas native authentication, versus MS Entra, Google, or some other SSO/SAML source/IDP? Just browsing around in the Persons page I am not seeing anything obvious...
thanks!
Martin
Hi @MartinHerbener,
A person's account isn't really "based on" a particular type of authentication, unless the login is specifically associated with a particular provider when the account is created via SIS (as shown by the "authentication_provider_id" value under users.csv in https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/file.sis_csv.html).
If the login is associated with a specific authentication provider, you will be able to see that information in the Provisioning Report (Settings > Reports), but not via the GUI.
However, if the login is not associated with a specific auth provider, then the user can login using any of the authentication providers, as long as they have working credentials in that auth provider, and the login_id that the auth provider passes on to Canvas after the user has successfully authenticated matched the Canvas login_id.

Our institution is setting up 9 institutional outcomes in Canvas. Several of our outcomes have multiple skill sets within the rubric. For example: Critical Reading – Skill Set A Critical Reading – Skill Set B Critical Reading – Skill Set C Our understanding is that Canvas Outcomes data reports can provide the overall/total…
I am just curiousas to why there is not a field to enter a description for an outcome at the account level? Or at least edit the rating when you attach/link an account level outcome to a rubric. When you create a new criterion for a rubric, you enter a decription for a rating, but for an account level outcome.
We use a pre- post- model to measure learning which requires student-question matching from two time periods. This requires exporting quiz data to CSV to do the analysis properly. (I can get into more detail if needed.) The New Quizzes Student Analysis CSV export has repeated blocks of ItemID then columns related to that…
Hello! A caution to my fellow Admins and support folks that Instructure updated their live-chat link (the one in the "(?) Help" menu, if you license their Support Chat service) fairly recently, but the old broken one is still online and appears as if it still functions. If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
