Canvas with Gemini LTI - Are you able to control which accounts have access and which don't?

Question

Have a question for those using the Canvas with Gemini LTI. Are you able to control which accounts have access to the LTI? As we are waiting for IT Approval, there was a question that arose in which some faculty would want this feature enabled in their course while others would not. I have not be able to find any specifics on this ability so I decided to crowdsource. Thanks.

Hello @LanceChaulk,

If you enable the LTI for your Canvas instance, it will automatically show for all courses (unless you add it by subaccount). If an instructor chooses not to use the LTI they can hide it from their course navigation.

Hi @LanceChaulk,

First, make sure that you test (not the functionality of Gemini but the Canvas side of LTI placements) in beta.

This sounds like a use case for @JamesSekcienski's guide at https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-LMS-Blog/Default-Hide-Course-Navigation-Placement-for-LTIs-External-Apps/ba-p/611924.

Just like the Khanmigo LTI and interherited developer keys, you may need to monitor/test to make sure that nothing changes if Instructure/Khanmigo makes any changes on their side because settings could be overwritten.
