How do I manage Canvas Studio user role permissions as an admin?

As a Canvas Studio admin, you can manage user role permissions in Studio Settings. User role permissions determine how and from which sources users can add media in Canvas Studio.

Note: By default, all Canvas Studio permissions are enabled for Studio Admins. As a Studio Admin, you can view and manage permissions for all course-level users in your account. However, you cannot manage permissions for Studio Admins.
