api/v1/accounts/1/sis_imports

[RobertSeletsky]

Used api/v1/accounts/1/sis_imports to import one new (sub account) in accounts.csv file and do not see an error when check with corresponding api/v1/accounts/1/sis_imports/<id>

However, do not see the sub account in GUI.

Check the Statistics object of the import, Account {created, restored, deleted} should be available if anything changed.

Does the parent account exist, and did you use a parent_account_id field?

If you go to /accounts/sis_account_id:<sis_id>, does it exist?

[RobertSeletsky]

See warning: Parent account didn't exist for 8765

CSV file:

account_id,parent_account_id,name, status
8765,1,testsis_account,active

Assuming you want the parent to be the root account, you would leave parent_account_id field blank.  The id fields are sis-ids, not the internal Canvas ids.

Parent_account_id refers to a parent account's sis_id, Canvas ID's won't work there.

If you go into the sub account that shall be it's parent, go to settings and ensure it has an SIS_ID

[RobertSeletsky]

Now see warning: Improper status "" for account 8765

CSV File:

account_id,parent_account_id,name, status
8765,,testsis_account,active

Hi @RobertSeletsky,

In your CSV paste, you have a space before "status" in your header line.  I think that might throw Canvas off, as it's looking for an exact header of "status".  Could you remove the space and try again?
