Canvas Studio has one default account-level user role known as the Studio Admin role. As a Studio Admin, you can create and manage users, including designating other users as Studio Admin and view and manage the Studio media library for the account.
Canvas Studio has two default course-level user roles known as the Teacher and Student roles. Users in your account who are not designated as Studio Admins are course-level users. For these users, their Canvas Studio user role is determined by their Canvas course user role.
By default, Canvas Studio permissions are enabled for all 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.
Note: You can be a Studio Admin even if you are not a Canvas Admin. As a Studio Admin, you can manage user permissions in Studio. However, you may not be able to manage permissions for users in Canvas.
