Add an instructor role in Alma for additional roles in LTI launch request
Ex Libris completed an enhancement to add an instructor role to an Alma user via LTI. This is great but we need this for instructional staff who support teaching staff, but have canvas system level permissions rather than individual course permissions.
There are additional roles in Canvas (and perhaps other CMS systems) that should add an instructor role in Alma, as well:
| Canvas Role | LTI String | Desired Alma Role
| Teacher | Instructor | Instructor
| TA | urn:lti:role:ims/lis/TeachingAssistant | Instructor
| Designer | Content Developer | Instructor
| Account Admin | urn:lti:instrole:ims/lis/Administrator | Instructor
We would like to see these roles trigger addition of the Alma instructor role in the LTI launch.

This request was developed as part of the Leganto October release.
Thank you for contributing the idea!
Kind regards,

We'd like to perhaps see a mapping table similar to network fulfillment zone added within the integration profile, where sites can choose which roles within the learning management system map to instructor/student equivalent roles in Alma/leganto. This would allow learning support staff to access leganto, but not as instructors for that reading list - ie not modify the list .
