Hi Team, Is there any possibility for auto login to canvas platform from my website? Let me explain in brief. In my website there will be a button "Login to canvas", When i hit that button then it should get the user loggedin details from my website and sent to canvas site and performs a auto login functionality. Is there any way i can implement this kind of functionality or similar ? My website and canvas website is on different domains. Provide some suggestions how this can be solved?

thank

The recommended way to do this would be to configure Canvas to use a third-party authentication system (https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-9870-4214406803) so that Canvas will automatically log in as the same user. You can either use a third-party to provide this authentication, or you could implement one of the SSO protocols that Canvas supports directly in your own application.

yeah, I can do that, if you have a Admin Account.
