Allow connecting to Canvas server so that students and faculty can be imported.
OPE Auto Configuration: If you are running the OPE Docker system, you can use the auto config
button to generate a dev key. If this isn't from the OPE project (Docker apps) setup auto config will not work.
Canvas Import Enabled: Turn Canvas account importing on/off. With this on, importing student or
faculty accounts in the SMC will create and enroll them in the Canvas server too.
Canvas Integration Enabled: Allow integration features such as Find/Replace and credential laptops
(credential laptops also requires import enabled). Requires that a canvas
user exists that matches the logged in SMC user (e.g. faculty accounts need to exist in both places). If canvas
import is enabled, the accounts should be linked.
Canvas Access Token: The access token (NOT DEV KEY) used to access the canvas server as the admin user. To get a new dev key, login as the admin canvas account, go to Settings, then scroll down to "Approved Integrations". Hit the button "New Access Token" and copy the key and paste it into this box.
Canvas Secret: The canvas secret key stored in the config/security.yml file - used to generate new access tokens for users. You can use <ENV> here to automatically pull from the docker environment variables in the OPE project (recommended).
Canvas Database URL: The hostname used to access the canvas database server. Default postgresql.
Canvas Database Password: The password used to access the canvas database server. Default should be <ENV> which will auto detect in the OPE Docker App system.
Canvas Server URL: The website url for canvas. E.g. https://canvas.ed
Canvas Quota: How much space should the student have to upload files into canvas? This is for personal files, and does not pertain to the class quota. In a secure environment, it is recommended to turn this down to 0 Meg to prevent users from trying to hide files.
Canvas Auto Create Courses: The import tool can create courses and enroll students in them if they don't exist. If you turn this off, students will only be enrolled in specified courses if they already exist and have the SIS ID that matches the course id listed in the spread sheet.
