For Sub account - Users - manage login details

Question

Hi,

I have a sub account and the user has been made an account admin from the sub account Settings -> Admins tab. This user has a course allocated to him as a teacher. The sub account admin / teacher user needs to create student accounts. He can create student account using email but can't modify login details as the "Add login" functionality is not visible to the sub account admin / teacher user (Course-> People->Edit User details). Can't see Add login under login information

Can you please suggest a fix or a wrokaround. I would appreciate if you could let me know ASAP.

Thanks,

VM

Hi @VimalMakhija,

I came across this unanswered question while doing a community cleanup.

As user accounts in Canvas live at the root account level, people who need to manage account details would need to be added to the root account with a role that has that permission enabled.  They do not need to be a full admin, so you can create a very limited role with just a few permissions, but I don't think it's possible to do what you need only using a subaccount role.

Hope this helps a bit!
