Hello, Here is the scenario: I have a group setup in a course that only needs access to 3 out of 15 modules.

Hi all, this may not be the best place to ask this question has integrations may come in lots of flavors. But, I'm hoping to get some suggestions here.

This most likely has to do with it being Deprecated but the information about the API versions for this route is very confusing. We have LMS version 20.23.7.20917. When I…

If not, do you have any recommended on…
