canvas config account
canvas config account¶
Set the default account ID for an instance
Synopsis¶
Set or auto-detect the default account ID for a Canvas instance.
The default account ID is used when API calls require an account ID but none is specified.
Examples:
# Set account ID manually
canvas config account production 1
canvas config account staging 42
# Auto-detect account ID (fetches accounts from API)
canvas config account production --detect
canvas config account --detect # Uses default instance
