Security Settings for LTI Advantage (1.3)
Once you have an LTI Advantage tool registered, you can deploy it from the External Learning Tools page. When deploying a new tool, provide a name, associate it to a registered tool, set the available extensions, and set the security settings:
- Anonymous: An option to completely anonymize the user details of the launch. When selected, all the fields under User Information will become unavailable
- User Information: Determines the tool's ability to send the context information around the current user. We support sending the user's:
- Name
- Email
- User ID
- Username
- Org Defined Id
- Org Unit Information: Determines whether the org unit information will be shared with the tool on LTI launch. If enabled, Brightspace will send:
- Org Unit Id
- Course Name
- Course Code
- Org Unit Type
- LIS Course Offering Sourcedid
- LIS Course Section Sourcedid
- Link Information: Determines whether the launch will include details about the LTI link itself. Makes the title and description data available to the launch
