Qwickly Course Tools LTI uses Blackboard's REST APIs to get information about courses and user enrollment. The tool requires very specific privileges to make some API calls.
In order to allow a user to access Qwickly Course Tools LTI, you will have to create a custom role that is entitled to the required privileges. You may require additional privileges depending on how many Qwickly products you utilize.
The following steps can be followed to create such a custom role:
- In the System Admin Panel, go to System Roles
- Select Create Role
- Give your custom role the Role Name and Role ID “QwicklyRole”
- When prompted to Manage Privileges for your custom role, check the following privileges to add to the default privileges:

Once this Custom Role has been created, it should be assigned to the user account with which you plan to create the REST API Integration with. The following steps highlight how to do this:
- In the System Admin Panel, go to Users
- Either select a pre-existing user and select edit, or create a new user
- In the Edit User's Profile Information view, navigate to system roles
- Select your custom role and add it to the user's selected role
- Press submit to save these settings
Once this is done, you may choose to create the REST API Integration by registering your user account (with the custom Role) as the Learn User
