When I click on the hyperlink for one of my teachers assignments a red box error pops up and says I am unauthorized. It states "It appears that you don't have permission to access this page. Please make sure you're authorized to view this content...." The instructor said on the first day of class that the majority of the class was having the same problem and that she isn't the best at canvas yet, so is it something the instructor is doing or is it something I am? I need to get this fixed as soon as possible. Thank you!
Hi Kyndall and welcome to the Canvas Community! One of the common reasons to get a message like this is when you are trying to access content in Canvas that the instructor has not published or otherwise made available to students. I would contact your instructor and let him/her know what you are encountering so they can check that the content has been published. You could also report a problem from the help menu of Canvas (question mark in the lower left-hand side of the screen) as the message indicates so the support team can look into this as well.
I hope this helps and best wishes!
