Creating a developer key in Canvas

You must create a Canvas developer key for each ENGAGE Enterprise group that you want to integrate with. However, you can create an integration in a parent group, and then have all subgroups use that same integration with the same developer key.

To create a developer key, complete the following steps. For more detailed information, refer to How do I add a developer API key for an account? in the Canvas documentation.

  1. In the left-hand menu in Canvas, select Admin and then select the name of the root account.

  2. In the account navigation, select Developer keys.

  3. On the Developer keys page, select + Developer Key, and then select API key.

  4. Enter the following information:

    1. In the Key name field, enter a name that will help you to identify that the key is used for your ENGAGE Enterprise group quiz integration.

    2. In the Owner email field, enter your email address.

    3. In the Redirect URIs field, enter https://prod2.engagevr.io/api/lms/callback?uuid=<group_id>, but replace <group_id> with the ID from Retrieving your Enterprise group ID.

  5. Select Save.

  6. On the Developer keys page, in the State column, select the toggle for the key that you just created.

  7. In the Turn On Developer Key confirmation prompt, select Switch to On.

  8. For the key that you just created, copy the value in the Details column. This is the value that you enter in EAP for the Client ID.

  9. For the key that you just created, select Show key, and then copy the key. This is the value that you enter in EAP for the Client Secret.

Identifying your Canvas account number

You can choose which Canvas account you want to connect to.

To identify the account number, which you will need when you create the integration in EAP, complete the following steps:

  1. In the left-hand menu in Canvas, select Admin and then select the name of the account.

  2. In the address bar of the web browser, identify the number that follows accounts/. This is the account number.

For example, the root account will have an address similar to https://myorg.instructure.com/accounts/1, where the account number is 1. A sub-account may have an address similar to https://myorg.instructure.com/accounts/123, where the account number is 123.
