[ARCHIVED] [ARCHIVED] The Role of the Instructor

[dritch]

I have been working with Canvas since May. I set up the software, added my classes, students, assignments, quizzes, etc and have been excited about the new UI until I found out that I needed to be the Admin. I am the only instructor using Canvas at my school and thought I was the Admin. Not sure what to do next. I love using Canvas, but how do I change or add my role as Admin so I can upgrade to the new UI and other upgrades in the future. Help!!

                                                                                              Respectfully Yours,

                                                                                                 David Ritch, Ed.S.

 @dritch ​, are you using the Canvas Free for Teacher account for your classes? If so, then I think others are experiencing the same issue with the new UI not being turned on this weekend - Can't find New User Interface. Hopefully it will get straightened out soon!

Hi Kona,

Thank You for your response. I am using the Canvas Free for Teacher account for my classes. I did also see where others are having the same problem with it not being turned on Saturday. Can I add myself as another user with admin permissions? I didn't even see that as an option when adding a user. I saw teacher, TA, student, observer and designer.

 @dritch ​, it looks like the new UI should now be on and available for your account! Could you double-check and let us know if you're now seeing it?

Hi Stefanie,

The new Canvas UI is on now on my site. Thank you for following up on this.
