Is there a way to prevent teachers from uploading content to Canvas Commons but allow administrators to do it?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @lsorroche ,
Thank you for posting on the Instructure Community!
Apologies that this is a very late response. Looking through my settings as an admin, there does not appear to be a way that lets only admins upload content to canvas commons. Canvas Commons is a public object repository intended to allow all instructors, instructional designers, TAs, and admins share content from their course with either themself only, their school or with the public.
I hope this helps, even if it isn't the response you were hoping for.
All the best,
Noah

@lsorroche I would say to tell you CSM to submit a feature request for this.
