I was recently added as a Co-teacher in two Canvas courses. However, I do not seem to be able to add, edit, or create content. I was under the impression I would be able to do these things as a co-teacher. Is there a way to do that?
Hi @MSTucker,
You'll probably need to reach out to your local Canvas team (usually in the eLearning / IT / Digital Education areas) to find out what permissions they have set up. By default, there is not a "co-teacher" role in Canvas, so they may have made something custom. It's also possible that you were added with the wrong role selected. Either way, your local team will probably be able to help you a bit better than those os us in the global community of Canvas users here will be able to. We don't have access to your Canvas environment or account or anything to know what's going on with 100% certainty.
Hope this helps a bit, even though it's not a direct answer/solution. Let us know how things work out!

It all depends on the permissions that were created for the Co-Teacher Roll. When the co-Teacher roll was created there could be some permissions that were not turned on, such as grading, adding, editing or creating content. I would recommend checkin with your Canvas admin and see what permissions have been set for the co-Teacher Roll.
@MSTucker ...
I'm not sure what role you were assigned in this particular Canvas course. What role do you see next to your name when you click on the "People" button within the course? If it truly says "co-teacher", that sounds like a custom role that was created by Canvas administrators at your school. If this is the case, they may have configured this role with certain permissions turned on and certain permissions turned off. You'd have to check with your Canvas admin to see what permissions that role has for you. If you see the "Teacher" role, then you *should* have the same permissions that the other teacher has for the course. All this being said, it's probably best to have a conversation with your school's admin or someone from their Online Learning / eLearning / Distance Learning team as soon as possible.
I hope this will help a bit. Sing out if you have other questions...thanks!
Hi. I'm using Canvas Free for teachers and I'm experiencing an issue Course Analytics not showing any students and activity. I created a course last month and manually added students into it. Some of them accepted and I can see from the People tab that they are spending time in the course (the total time is increasing). I…
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". 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…
Hello, I’m wondering if Differentiation Tags can be configured as part of a Blueprint course. Our goal is to store differentiated content (pages, assessments, etc.) centrally within the Blueprint and have it already associated with specific Differentiation Tags (e.g. Support, Core, Extension). After the Blueprint is…
Dear Forum members, In the past, I asked students to hide some worksheets in the Excel files they would upload to Canvas. I was only interested in the results of their Excel analysis, and asked students to hide the worksheets with raw data in them. This worked until last Fall, but now SpeedGrader is rendering all…
