We are setting up Canvas Elementary for our Primary Years and while some teachers have admin rights, I would like to limit their ability to create new subjects. Is there a way I can do this at the subaccount level?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @oneilllj,
You would need to create a new account-level admin role with the appropriate "Manage Courses" permissions.
You would then need to give those teachers that admin role instead of a regular admin role.
What user roles and permissions are available in Canvas? - Instructure Community - 102
Canvas Account Role Permissions - Instructure Community - 387078
Does that help?
