description: The SIS Import API ingests Canvas's canonical SIS CSV format (and ZIP archives of those CSVs)
  to provision accounts, terms, courses, sections, users, enrollments, groups, group memberships, cross-listings,
  user observers, logins, admins, change-sis-id mappings, and admin differentiation tags. Supports diffing
  imports against the previous import, batch mode, and asynchronous progress polling.
