We were trying to add a person as a Catalog Subadmin Admin. Everything appears to be set correctly. She is added to a subcatalog as an admin. But, when she tries to access the dropdown menu from her name in the upper right of Catalog, the "Admin" option never appears. Any ideas?

I want to tailor the email message that the student receives to the specific class that they enroll in.…

According to the setting in the Catalog Information tab, "Only domains you add to the list below will be allowed to register." However, this restriction does not seem to be working.

They are shown in Canvas as "Completed" when I look them up through the top-level People interface, but I cannot find them in the course itself, nor can I find their personal self-paced Section within the course.
