I dont have an Admin tab to set up

[Surgtech808]

I dont have an Admin tab to set up student accounts.

It should be under my account tab.

I am trying to create my students accounts. I am using free canvas.

How can I get to add a new user tab? 

Is there a different approach I can use?

I also have the same problem. I am trying to get access to the admin tab to add in H5P resizer script on the free canvas account. But I am unable to find the option to add it in.

Hi @mwum and @Surgtech808,

The Free-for-teacher interface does not have Admin access available.  For that, you'd need to either pay for an Instructure-hosted Canvas instance, or perhaps try to run your own open-source Canvas instance.

For enrolling users in free-for-teacher, I believe you can just add people to your course using their email, and it will send them instructions to create an account and enroll in the site.

For adding scripts that need admin access, I'm afraid you'd be completely out of luck on the free-for-teacher version of Canvas.

Hope this info helps, even if it's not the news you were hoping to receive.

Hey, @Surgtech808 and @mwum ...

In addition to the information that @chriscas provided you, I am going to provide a link to a document below that lists everything you're able to do with a free canvas account, and what you're unable to do with a free canvas account. This list of comparisons should help you out as well.
