Release Notes

This update introduces support for syncing Canvas Connect rosters, along with other bug fixes and improvements.

Canvas Connect

New Features

  • PingPong group user lists can now be synced with Canvas Connect rosters on a set schedule or manually.
  • As with manual LTI launches from the course navigation, Canvas Connect roster syncs fetch available SSO information, as determined during the tool registration, along with the stable LTI user IDs.
  • The required resource_link_id is saved when a user launches PingPong from Canvas, or is retrieved from the first page of the Names and Role API response as a fallback. The fallback works because all Canvas course navigation placements share the same context_id as the resource_link_id. See this Instructure Community discussion for more details.

Resolved Issues

  • Fixed: Canvas Connect cross-installation linking based on the Canvas instance ID may fail because incomplete Canvas Connect course links are considered for matching.

External Logins

New Features

  • When merging user accounts, login emails from accounts that are about to be merged into the primary account are added as secondary login emails.

Updates & Improvements

  • When adding new users, more than one external login identifiers can be specified at the user level. Providers can be different per user, including users with no external login identifiers to be added. Previously, only a single identifier was allowed per user from a single provider for all users.

UI

New Features

  • Use the new Canvas Connect sync roster button to sync all linked Canvas Connect courses at once. Similar to Canvas Sync, rate limits apply.
  • Use the new quick Sync roster button to trigger a sync with Canvas Connect or Canvas Sync without opening the detail view in Manage Group page.

Internal

Updates & Improvements

  • Centralized shared constants for LTI launch and Canvas Connect NRPS sync and shared LTI role helpers.
