Is there a Canvas role that does not receive announcements?

My colleague wishes to look at my documentation in my modules. I don't necessarily want them to receive my announcements. Can I add them in a particular role so they don't receive them?

Thank you,

David.

According to the Announcements - View section of Canvas Course Role Permissions - Instructure Community - 387080, all default user roles can see announcements, so unless you have admin rights, that's not going to help.

One option, if you can add a section to the course, is to add your colleague to a new section, and post announcements to specific sections.

Hi @poppet,

@Gabriel33 provided some helpful information. Another option to consider is to have your colleague disable the notifications about announcements (and anything else) for that specific course.

How do I manage notifications for a single course? - Instructure Community - 615325

This would require them to do it on their own but still allow them to go into the "Announcements" area of the course to see them but it would prevent them from receiving notifications about the announcement.
