Where is the admin page?

[nucleuscourses]

I am a developer looking to build integrations using LTI, but I don't seem to have an Admin page in my Canvas account where I can get my developer API keys.

I just signed up for a free account, but I can't seem how to access the admin area, and searching the web hasn't provided any solutions... you'd think this would be simpler. Anybody have advice?

Good afternoon, @nucleuscourses ...

The Free For Teacher (FFT) version of Canvas does not have an area to access back-end tools as an administrator.  Admin access is only available for schools/organizations who choose to pay for Canvas.  You can read more about the differences between FFT and paid Canvas accounts by visiting:

Canvas Free-for-Teacher FAQ (click on the "Canvas Course Comparison PDF" link near the top of the article)

Sorry I don't have better news for you, but I hope this helps to answer your question...thanks!

Sadly, I would not class this as "solved"

Let me flip the question a different way: How do LTI Tool developers test their product works [and create appropriate user documentation for their service] with Canvas?
