The Teacher role grants a user course admin permissions, giving them control over their assigned courses.

Same permissions as Teacher. This role does not grant any additional permissions beyond the Teacher role.

These users have permissions similar to Teachers. This role is meant to support the Teacher role.

They can:

1. create and manage course materials, and

2. access student submissions and grades.

They cannot:

1. access Grades audit trail, nor

2. add Teachers.

Teachers can assign this role to full-time TAs or TAs who are able to access grades.

Non-Grading TA/Tutors have similar permissions as TAs, except that they will NOT be able to access student submissions and grades.

Same permissions as Non-Grading TA/Tutor. This role does not grant any additional permissions beyond the Non-Grading TA/Tutor role. This role is to distinguish between tutors who are students from tutors who are staff.

In official courses, students are automatically drawn from EduRec. They cannot be added/deleted manually.

Students have no access to course settings.

Students who wish to enroll as guests in courses should be added as guest students. They have the same permission as Observers.

This role is for department administrative or support staff who support Teachers with course creation in Canvas.

They have similar permissions as the TA (Teacher Assistant) role.

These users are permitted to access and create course content, including announcements, assignments, discussions, and quizzes.

Course designers cannot access grades nor analytics.

This user role can be linked to a student user enrolled in a course. For example, guardians, and/or mentors may wish to be linked to a student to view their course progress.

Observers have limited permissions that allow them to see what is going on in a course, but will not be able to participate in assignments.
