[ARCHIVED] Sub-account Admins

[DarcieDrymon1]

How do I assign a user to be the Sub-account Administrator? I set up an Account Role called "Sub-Account Admin" with hopes to assign this to a user in the Sub-Account "Field Training" but for the life of me I can't find the steps to do this.

Hello there, @DarcieDrymon1 ...

This is fairly simple to do.  Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like you created a new account role via these directions:

Now that you have that custom role established, "Sub-Account Admin", you'll need to click on your "Admin" button on the left-hand global navigation menu, and then select "Sub-Accounts".  Next, click on the name of the sub-account that you want to add that person to...in this case, "Field Training".  (You should see a breadcrumb path at the top of your screen to let you know which sub-account you are in.)  Scroll down to your "Settings" menu (this is the "Settings" menu for the sub-account vs. your overall Canvas account), and then click on the "Admins" tab.  Click on the "+ Account Admins" button.  Select the role you created from the drop-down menu, and then type in the e-mail address of the person you want to add as an admin to this sub-account.  (Make sure that this person has a Canvas account already...otherwise, he/she won't be able to be a sub-account admin.)

Hopefully this will be of help to you.  Sing out if you have any other questions...thanks!
