The security policies in the system ensure that only the users with the appropriate permissions can execute specific tasks. With the Canvas integration, there are different tasks that require different permissions. You need to assign the permissions to the users based on what they should be able to do or access.
We recommend you to create the following roles, assign the permissions to each role and then assign the role(s) to the users based on their access needs.
Role Name | Permissions | Description |
