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.
We've created a specific Admin role, Training Area Admin, for one of our sub-accounts.
The Student View button does not appear for the sub-account Admins,
unless a user is added to one of the sub-account courses in the role of Teacher.
We've reviewed the permissions settings for the sub-account Admin role
but do not see a setting that involves Student View.
Is this the default behavior for those in a sub-account Admin role, please?
Our Admins at the institution's Account-level, however, can see the Student View button for any course,
whether a user has been added in the Teacher role or not.
If there is a way to make the Student View button available to sub-account Admins
without users needing to add themselves as Teachers to a site, please let us know.
Thank you for your time.

Solved! Go to Solution.
It looks like this question was answered previously in Student view as a permission. The needed permission, according to that answer, is the Account Role permission Manage (add/edit/delete) courses.
