Provider Specific Guidelines
Canvas
The Canvas API only accepts a singular flag. In the case multiple flags were sent as part of a request for grading/updating a Canvas submission, we will pass only one flag to be chosen based on the following order of importance, first being the most important: excused, missing, late.
The Canvas API ignores grader_id when using this User API. It will always set grader_id as the id of the user whose tokens we use to make the request. If you need to set grader_id, use the Graph API and make sure the grader_id you select is a valid teacher in the class.
