How to set my own account as admin?

[RandyFonseca]

I'm trying to test the API for my job, specifically the OAuth.
I created an account as a teacher but I don't have the Admin permissions.

How can I set my own account as admin?

Hey, @RandyFonseca ..

Assuming you have another account connected to Canvas with admin rights, I'm going to provide you with a link to a document below that should help answer your question.

https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-add-an-admin-to-an-account/ta-p/212

In short, if you go to your Admin panel, click Settings > Admins, you should be able to add admins right there. 

Hope this helps!

Are you using the free canvas for teacher? If so you won't be able to take an admin role.

If you are a teacher in a particular instance of Canvas (a school or college) you would need a current admin to give you admin privileges
