Good morning, @MariaSalinas ...
I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but I'll try and answer. In Canvas, everyone is first considered a "user". When you are added to one or more courses, it is only then that you are assigned a specific role...such as a "Teacher" or a "Student". Therefore, you could potentially be a "Teacher" in one course and a "Student" in another course...at the same time. When your account is initially added to your school's Canvas environment as a "user", it is not assigning you at that account level with a "Teacher" or "Student" role. That only happens at the course level.
I hope this will be of help to you. Please let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks! Take care, stay safe, and be well.
