D2L Brightspace Setup Guide Lite

Follow our setup guide to connect D2L Brightspace to Fivetran.

Prerequisites

To connect D2L Brightspace to Fivetran, you need:

NOTE: Contact D2L Brightspace support for API access.

Log in to your D2L Brightspace account.
Find the targethost in your D2L Brightspace account URL and make a note of it. For example, if your D2L Brightspace URL is https://corporatetrial.brightspace.com/d2l/lp/profile, your targethost is corporatetrial.brightspace.com.

In the D2L Brightspace dashboard, click the Admin Tools menu icon > Manage Extensibility.
Go to the OAuth 2.0 tab and click Register an app.
Enter your Application Name.
In the Redirect URI field, enter https://fivetran.com/integrations/d2l_brightspace/oauth2/return.
In the Scope field, enter the scopes for the required endpoints. For example:
- Organizations: organizations:organization:read
- Enrollment:Classlist & Users: enrollment:orgunit:read
- Surveys: surveys:surveys:read, surveys:access:read, surveys:attempts:read
- Users: users:userdata:read
  NOTE: The scope value must be a space-delimited string containing the resource group type, the resource, and the permissions you want the app to have (group:resource:permissions group2:resource2:permissions2).
NOTE: If you want to authenticate additional tables and find their dependencies, see D2L Brightspace's Scope's table documentation.
In the Access Token Lifetime field, enter the validity period of the token.
NOTE: Make sure you enter the time in seconds. We recommend you to enter 72000 seconds (20 hours) as the validity period.
Select the following checkboxes:
- Prompt for user consent
- Enable refresh tokens
- I accept the Non-Commercial Developer Agreement
Click Register.

Go to the OAuth 2.0 tab and select the application you registered in Step 2.
Make a note of the Client ID and Client Secret. You will need them to configure Fivetran.

In the connector setup form, enter the Destination schema name of your choice.
Enter the Targethost that you found in Step 1.
Enter the Client ID and Client Secret that you found in Step 3.
Click Authorize to allow Fivetran to access your D2L Brightspace account using OAuth. You will be redirected to your D2L Brightspace account to authorize Fivetran's access.
IMPORTANT: We recommend logging in while in Incognito mode to ensure authorization of the correct account.
Log in to your D2L Brightspace account. Once you have finished, you will be redirected back to Fivetran.
(Hybrid Deployment only) If your destination is configured for Hybrid Deployment, the Hybrid Deployment Agent associated with your destination is pre-selected in the Select an existing agent drop-down menu. To use a different agent, select the agent of your choice, and then select the same agent for your destination.
Click Save & Test. Fivetran will take it from here and sync your D2L Brightspace data.
