Question

We are trying to build a widget that uses an API call to display certain information based on the term name that is part of the course name.  Instructor or student roles get a 403 error when the widget runs. How can we get those roles acccess?

We are using this call:  GET /d2l/api/lp/1.9/orgstructure/{orgUnitId}

Is there a way to get those roles access?  There is nothing about restricted access to this information in the API documentation.

Hi Mitch,

'orgStructure' routes require the person to have some level of access to the 'Org Unit Editor' tool.  That probably isn't something you want to grant, so I'd recommend using a different route such as:

* /d2l/api/lp/(version)/enrollments/myenrollments/(orgUnitId)
* /d2l/api/lp/(version)/courses/(orgUnitId)
