How to activate Respondus Lockdown Browser programmatically?

[Robdepietro]

Hey all, we are running into issues where we are creating courses programaticaly but there is still a manual step that we have to login and activate the Lockdown Browser for every course we create. We tried a few things but is there any API or steps to activate the lockdown browser programmatically without manual login? any information would be great.

Hi @Robdepietro 

The LockDown Browser Dashboard is coming from Respondus, not from Canvas, and opening the LockDown Browser Dashboard in the course is required in order to save the LockDown Browser settings for the course back to the Respondus servers.  There isn't really an API workaround for this as far as I know.
