In Authentication settings, what is the meaning of Federated attributes "admin_role" representing in canvas?
Hello @jessie_hkmc
Thank you for contacting the Instructure Community. Your screenshot sort of explains it - If you use an SSO/SAML - it is information sent from your authentication provider that will be used automatically each time a user logs in. For example, if you used Google or Microsoft as your authentication provider - having the admin_role tells Canvas that this person has admin permissions each time you login and you will have access to all things admin_role would get. Students would be recognized as students, teachers as teachers, etc. It's essentially just passing back that information automatically showing that you are an admin.

The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
