Launch Loree LTI tool from the course navigation

Enable Cookies:

To access Loree inside Canvas LMS in the particular browser we have to allow the browser cookies to launch Loree LTI, without allowing the cookies Loree can’t be launched.

Loree Dashboard Access

Here we go for the Role configuration to access Loree- Dashboard inside the tool. In order to get the Loree Dashboard, you must be enrolled as a “Loree-Admin“ role from the root account level.

Below are the steps to create the Loree-Admin role and assign people on this role to get Loree Dashboard access.

Step 20: As an Account Admin of your instructure, you have to navigate to Admin → Account name(root account) → Permissions → Account roles tab

Step 21: Click on the “Add Role“ button under the Account role section

Step 22: Provide the role name as “Loree-Admin“ and save it. (Role name should not mismatch from the given)

Note: Please no spaces in between or any other modification in creating a new role, create exactly as 'Loree-Admin' to get the Loree admin dashboard set up in Loree.

Step 23: Enable all the permissions for the newly created role. This will allow Loree-Admin users to access courses and the Loree tool.

Step 24: Finally, as an Account Admin you have to assign people to the newly created role for allowing them to access Loree and Dashboard.

Step 25: Navigate to Admin → Account name(root account) → Settings → Admins. At the bottom, you will find out “+ Account admins button”.

Step 26: Select Loree-Admin from the drop-down and add the list of people who needs admin access to control Loree features (you can also add some later based on the need) and click Continue and Add user. 

Step 27:  The people who added as Loree-Admin role will get the Admin button in Loree tool right corner

Note: Only the root account Loree-Admin can see the admin button. Others will not get access.
