A Canvas User Access Token serves as a secure credential that allows external software programs or scripts to interact with the Canvas LMS API on your behalf. It acts as a substitute for your username and password, granting the connected application the exact same roles, course permissions, and data visibility that you possess within Canvas.
There are many legitimate uses for an Access Token, including automating workflows (such as batch downloading assignments or mass-updating due dates), connecting third-party applications (to sync multiple calendars or productivity tools), or custom reporting (extracting raw analytical data for engagement or submissions).
Below is a form for requesting Canvas Personal Access Tokens (PATs). All requests are subject to review for security compliance and adherence to the least-privilege principle. Please ensure your supervising administrator is aware of this request, as approval routing is required before the token is provided.
