Is there significant demand for one username/password which would allow multiple, unique user profiles to access different courses within a catalog?
Scenario:
Human resources group supporting a manual labor industry where the participants likely do not have email addresses.
Potential solution:
Netflix like when there is one username/password for a family but each person in the family has a different profile. The HR person would maintain the primary username/password and be able to add profiles under the primary account. The profiles would have access to their needed content.
Snafu:
How would an LMS be able to handle multiple profiles under a single username/password and maintain confidentiality and gradebooks between users?
Currently, I do not think there is a way to do this. It is pretty similar to this that one person registers for multiple people under one account: https://community.canvaslms.com/ideas/11712-register-for-multiple-enrollments-in-canvas-catalog I would recommend creating a feature request for this.
