Executive summary

The project involved developing a comprehensive system to manage an online learning platform with multiple user roles — including Super Admins, Admins, and Teachers, each with distinct access levels and dashboards. The platform was tightly integrated with the Canvas LMS to support user authentication, content synchronization, and reporting. We also implemented Single Sign-On (SSO) using SAML to enable secure, seamless login between the two platforms. The primary goal was to streamline role-based access, dashboard management, and course content updates while ensuring smooth communication with the Canvas LMS environment.

Challenges Faced

We developed a robust and scalable system within WordPress to support multiple user roles, each equipped with customized dashboards, tailored data views, and role-specific functionalities. The platform was seamlessly integrated with the Canvas LMS to enable smooth synchronization of user records, reports, and learning content. Additionally, we ensured secure interoperability by implementing SAML-based Single Sign-On (SSO), allowing users to move between WordPress and Canvas with a unified authentication experience.
