Hi all,
Is there a way to hide the option "Use as Front Page" to set a page as the front page/home page? I would like teachers to have the option to add the content, but not change the front/home page.
Hello @martin_kabat
Thanks for posting this in the Canvas Community!
This is an interesting question that I really dug into. I was able to look at the Canvas permissions page HERE. The permission for Pages - update actually Allows the user to view page history and set front page. Keeping that in mind, it also Allows user to edit course pages. If you were to disable this for the teacher, they would no longer be able to edit the pages in their courses from my understanding.
I don't see that there is a way to separate the two permissions that this is responsible for. You "might" be able to do something with custom CSS for this to hide that option.
Hopefully this helps!

Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
We have recently encountered an issue where two students were unable to see the "Take the Quiz" button. These students were taking different exams for different courses within our Testing Center. Both exams required Respondus LockDown Browser and were restricted to specific IP addresses. In both cases, the students were…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
