Here are the generic instructions for installing an LTI 1.3 tool. Always follow the precise instructions provided by the LTI tool vendor.
Installing the LTI Tool
Go to Admin Panel > Integrations > LTI Tool Providers. You will see the list of LTI tools available on the platform. Click Register LTI 1.3/Advantage Tool.
On the LTI tool registration page, you must provide the corresponding Client ID, which should be given to you by the tool vendor. Enter that ID in the box and click Submit.
Once the request is submitted, you will see a page showing the status of the tool you just registered. Check that the tool status is set to Approved.
Also, it is important that you save the Deployment ID and send it to the tool vendor if they request it.
Further down, in the Institution Policies section, check the options indicated in the vendor’s instructions and uncheck the others.
We will finish registering the tool by clicking Submit.
Configuring the REST API Integration
Some tools require configuring an integration with the REST API in addition to the LTI configuration.
Go to Admin Panel > Integrations > REST API Integrations and click Create Integration in the menu.
On the integration creation page, you will be asked for the corresponding Application ID, which is different from the LTI tool ID and is again provided by the tool vendor.
Add the user who will be used for the integration. This user must have the necessary permissions to perform the API functions.
For production applications, it is recommended to create a new user with the required permissions to avoid security issues. Using the administrator user is strongly discouraged.
The vendor should tell you which permissions are necessary for this user.
Check Yes for the options End User Access and Authorized to Act As User, then finish by clicking Submit.
