Is there a way to not allow students to email other students in Canvas. I rather them only have access to emailing the teacher, but if that is not available I would prefer they cannot email anyone.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@marymixon Unfortunately, instructors cannot control this. It is technically possible for account administrators, but that would require having a custom role for the students in your course (which may not be possible if you have an SIS integration) or into a custom sub-account (where the student role permissions are changed). Unless you have a really super nice Canvas administrator, I don't think you will be able to accomplish this goal.
