Hi everyone,
Where Can I find the client credentials for the canvas LMS Authentication as I am able login as a Teacher, Student or as a Parent but not as an Admin.
Hi @AurosmitSahoo ,
Are you using your school's Canvas, or the "Free for Teachers" version?
If you are using your school's version, you would need to be given a role as an administrator on the system by one of the existing administrators.
For the "Free for Teachers" version, users do not have the option to be administrators on the system.
If you are using the Canvas LMS for a specific institution and not "Free For Teachers", I would recommend that you reach out to your Canvas CSM or Canvas Support. If you are supposed to be able to, either one of them should be able to help you get into the Canvas LMS as an admin.

Thanks for the information. I’m not sure how to contact Canvas Support directly. Could you please guide me on the right way to reach out?
If you have the ability to contact Canvas Support directly, when you are in the Canvas LMS, you will see contact options in the "Help" area.
