Hello, I am a It/Team Leader from my work and my co-workers have a key which gives them a higher control on Canvas, and searching for a way I can have that key too.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Emily1999 ...
I'm not sure what you mean by a "key". The only terminology I've heard with the word "key" is a "consumer key", but that is for setting up external tool LTIs (third-party integrations with Canvas), and I don't think that's what you are referring to. In Canvas, administrators can set permissions for different users to give them access to various parts of the LMS (Learning Management System). For example, a student doesn't have as many permissions as a teacher would have. And, a teacher doesn't have as many permissions as a Canvas administrator would have.
Can you please provide some more detail on your request so that Community members might be able to help you with this question? Thanks!
