What are the Benefits of Adding Canvas SSO Using Infisign?
- Apply clear access policies for your entire campus community. They can access their specific Canvas courses, modules, and resources using secure Single Sign-On (SSO) combined with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
- Speed up semester start-up. Ensure students and instructors get immediate, correct access to their registered courses, syllabi, and materials from day one with AI-powered access control.
- Cut your help desk workload with fewer support tickets. This means less troubleshooting of incorrect course enrollments, role permission issues (Student vs. TA vs. Instructor), or access problems. Also, expect fewer password or MFA reset requests with AI-backed access and authentication for the entire Canvas environment.
- Easily control SSO access to specific Canvas components, like individual courses, departmental portals, or even specific grading sections, with automated user provisioning that can be synced from your Student Information System (SIS).
- Manage Canvas access efficiently using standard and custom roles (like Student, Instructor, TA, Observer). Implement SSO that scales for thousands of users, leveraging RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) and ABAC (Attribute-Based Access Control) frameworks to ensure the right people access the right academic information.
- Combine SSO login records with Canvas data logs to create a unified and clear audit trail for security reviews and to ensure compliance with student data privacy regulations like FERPA.
