How do I add a new user role in Canvas?
You can create account-level roles in Canvas.
Account roles are granted to each Canvas admin and define the type of access each admin has in the account. You can create custom account-level roles depending on the needs of your institution.
Once a role is created, you can add administrative users and manage account-level permissions.
Note: When you change a permission, it can sometimes take 30 minutes or longer for that permission to take effect. If the expected changes do not appear immediately, try again after some time has passed.
