[ARCHIVED] Not able to take a quiz in a course because of my Admin status

Good Morning Canvas Admins!

At my college staff and faculty are required to take some Human Resource created trainings in Canvas (Emergency Preparedness, FERPA, Harrassment, etc.). Usually in these courses there's a video to watch and a quiz to complete. In the past (3-6 months ago), I was added as a student to these courses and was able to take the quiz with no problem despite my admin account rights--I could see both the "Take Quiz" button and "Preview Button."  Today when I tried to take a quiz it only shows a preview button and no option to take the quiz.

I'm wondering a few things.

Have you ever been able to take a quiz as a student even with admin access?

Do you have two separate accounts in canvas; a student account if you take courses and an admin account to take care of business?

Thanks for your help!
