Please take care in step 10 to choose the correct point in your Canvas hierarchy to finish configuration, particularly if the school or institution shares a Canvas instance with other organizations. Proceeding incorrectly can cause students or classes to be associated with the wrong organization in the CompTIA platform, which can be challenging to resolve once it's been done. Please reach out to your CompTIA integration rep for guidance if you have any questions or concerns.

Step 10: Navigate to the Canvas account or sub-account where you'd like to make the App available by navigating to Admin tab -> Select Account, then Sub-accounts -> Select your org's sub-account.

Step 11: Go to Settings > Apps > View App Configurations > + App button

Step 13: Client ID: Paste the same Developer ID copied in step 7

Step 14: Select Submit

Step 15: Select Install

Step 16: After installing, click on the gear cog for the plugin just installed and select Deployment ID. 

Step 17: Copy the whole deployment ID

Step 18: Return to the Registration Form from Step 8 and provide the following:

1. • Paste the Canvas Developer ID into the Canvas Developer ID field. 
   • Paste the Deployment ID into the Canvas Deployment ID Field
   • Canvas Access Token Endpoint
     • For production environments: https://sso.canvaslms.com/login/oauth2/token
