Recommended permissions setup

When creating an ideal operating state for user permissions, consider the following:

Instructors do not require full manage permission permissions for links, even at the course level
Administrators are the only users that can manage both LTI links AND tool providers
Instructors create and insert LTI objects into course content
Instructors should only be permitted to create links from vendors trusted by the institution (a trusted vendor indicates an administrator to create a Registration, Deployment, or Tool Provider for the integration)
Learners typically only require launch permissions (and should never have the Manage External Learning Tool Links permission for any reason, as this can create numerous unmetered LTI links)
If required, learners can be enabled to create LTI links, using the Create External Learning Tool Links from available External Learning Tool Providers permission, from trusted vendors.
Instructors can be given the View Migration Audit Log permission for their course but must contact an administrator with permission to create LTI tools and deployments to fix issues.
