The Instructure Community will enter a read-only state on November 22, 2025 as we prepare to migrate to our new Community platform in early December. Read our blog post for more info about this change.
In our Canvas instance, my role is Admin and part of my duties include creating images and videos for our courses. When I've uploaded the files they keep my id as owner. When I add the videos to a Page, I see the full list of videos in the right sidebar under Media. But the instructors in this course do not see what I see ... How can an admin reassign file ownership to other instructors? Or take away restrictions?
Admin View
Instructor View:
This test worked in reverse - a course where I was an instructor and uploaded videos to the course, my other Admin person could not see the sidebar content.@
Here is a video showing how the teacher interface for the New Rich Text editor does not give a video preview - only a download link - but the admin user who uploaded the video content to course files can insert a video with preview to a page.
