Who can log in externally?
External accounts work for most Swedish institutions. For users from foreign institutions, Lund University must approve the institution. A list of approved and tested institutions is available in the Canvas guide for federated login.
Canvas login for external users – canvas.education.lu.se
How to invite a user to Canvas
For Swedish institutions
Ask the user to go to the webpage external.canvas.education.lu.se and create an account. An Account Administrator or Course Director then invites the user to the appropriate Canvas course. The user can then log in to Canvas with their usual institution's login credentials.
For foreign institutions
Email digital [at] education [dot] lu [dot] se (digital[at]education[dot]lu[dot]se) with information about the institution's name, country, and domain address. If the institution is approved, the user can follow the same steps as for Swedish institutions.
If the login does not work Note that only people with institutional login can use external login. Other external participants need an LU account.
If an institution does not meet the technical requirements for external login, a directory administrator (Lucat Administrator) can create an LU account for the user.
