Before using this source with students#
Start with approved course material. Check which documents the connector can retrieve and how it maps source permissions. Test with a student account and a teacher account before widening access. A successful sync does not prove that the intended class boundary is correct.
Use source troubleshooting when a document is missing or visible to the wrong audience.
