Thank you for your feedback @chriscas  You are kind of making my point. I do agree that the SiS is the main source of data to Canvas, and the point is not to give teachers the opportunity to mess with that. (I do want my admins to be able to "mess" with that though..but that is a different discussion).  The point is that my University has a slightly different approach to who gets to do what, and I would like to decide that in Canvas at my institution - and you follow the policy in your institution - instead of Canvas deciding this for us both. So even more granularity would be good.  For instance: we give our teachers the permission to invite colleagues to their courses. The problem is that Canvas has denied the same teachers the right to remove the ones they have invited and/or change the role they have given them in the course because the course has been created by a SiS integration. As soon as we are in a manually created course they are able to edit and remove.  While writing I thought of a thing that might help the situation for users... they are allowed to create sections so I guess if they created a section named (lecturers or guests.. or..) hopefully they would be able to edit the role of the invited after the fact...or at least remove them from the section and the course.  Thanks for the tip about a top-admin role with just a few permissions- that is a workaround that might work for us - so instead of giving them the permission on a subaccount - they get it at the top level... - Siren   ...

There have been some changes lately in the possibilities for finer granulations regarding permissions. Some good, but not all: I would really like to get back the possibility to decide what my lower-level admins are permitted to do as account admins. To be more specific: I would like them to be able to impersonate a user and I would like them to be able to change roles within a course that has been populated from SiS or invited to a Course created via SiS (because they are admins). I would also like my teachers to be able to change roles for people in courses (even when the course has been created by the SiS integration) after the initial role has been given - sometimes you would like to give a person a new role - if you invited somebody as a teacher, you are not allowed (as a teacher, or lower-level admin) to change this role later on.. to f.eks an observer. This might also be a problem related to GDPR and privacy legislation. To conclude: As a top admin in Canvas, I would like to be able to decide which permissions I give my users. @apondi_olum  @claus_wang    ... View more

Yes, this is important. We use this feature a lot these days! And we do have many questions from students because it does not work on their mobile apps.  ... View more
