There are 6 scopes that need to be enabled. Expand the category for each one to find the scope and click the checkbox to enable it.

Expand the Accounts category and check the boxes for the following scopes:

The new key entry will be displayed.

Change the key state to On.

Copy the number above the Show Key button and paste it into Securly Classroom in the Consumer Key field.

Click the Show Key button, copy the value shown and paste it into Securly Classroom into the Consumer Secret field.

For the URL, enter the base URL of your Canvas site. This would be the URL in the address bar after you are logged into Canvas up to the point of the first slash. For example, if you login to Canvas and then see the URL:

http://ec2-33-222-208-11.compute-1.amazonaws.com/login/canvas 

in the address bar, you should enter the base URL

http://ec2-33-222-208-11.compute-1.amazonaws.com

After entering the values, click the Link Account button, then authorize the link with Canvas.

After the sync completes, your Canvas classes should now be visible in Classes.

Auto create locations from roster data

When this setting is enabled, the sync process will automatically create new locations in Securly Classroom based on data found on the roster import. If not selected, all classes from the sync will be created in the Main Location.
