Platform Updates

API Updates

• Dramatically simplified the permissions structure for both schools and developers.
  • The create, update, and delete permissions have been merged for each resource type into a single write type.
  • Read-only permissions remain the same across the board.
  • Scoped and unscoped permissions have been merged for clarity (and because they were largely redundant).
• Added StudentViewEnrollment type handler for Canvas.
• Adjusted the internal expiration dates on source access tokens to provide a longer buffer. Access tokens are now refreshed earlier than their expiration date.
• Additional endpoints were added to fetch various enrollment types for individual users requesting information about their organizations.
  • The endpoint has been generalized to /:organization_type/:organization_id/:enrollment_type.
• Updated the Canvas sync for performance improvements and to filter out unnecessary courses and enrollments.
• Added a mechanism to activate scheduled integrations.
• Both developers and school admins will now receive an email confirmation when an integration is created.
  • Parties will receive a second email when scheduled integrations are activated.
• Some internal improvements were made with regard to the expiry of events and requests, as per our data retention policy.
• Added an additional method to fetch Canvas submissions by ID.
• Added support for teacher submission feedback for Canvas.
• Added support for teacher submission feedback for Schoology.
• Better support for Microsoft Teams assignment submissions / grades.
• Better support for Google Classroom assignment submissions / grades.
• Google Classroom now requests an additional permission when teachers and students sign on for the first time.
• Made improvements to the automatic entity matching system.
• Expanded entities to provide array types for standard ID numbers.
  • Some systems have duplicate entries for schools.
  • Sometimes schools are combined or merged and we wish to preserve both numbers.

• New flow added for SSO logins. Users can be directed straight to Clever sign in by sending them to /sso/login/clever.
• Permissions have been simplified.
• Permissions will now be sorted by type (alphabetically).
