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!
We have a teacher who is not receiving email messages in Canvas because she has not previously verified her email address in Ways to Contact. We have had her verify her email address several times, but no confirmations appear in her email, neither in her inbox, nor in her spam filter. We know that she has a working email,…
Looking for the addition of partial credit for alternative format questions in Canvas, like ordering and category/matrix. We can only do it in close drop down, matching, and multiple response.
Has anyone found gaps in their course analytics ? I'm currently seeing missing last view date, last participation date, and participations at overall course level, even though the same data is present at individual week and student level. Am also seeing truncated asset counts ie we are seeing only the global header counts,…
It would be very beneficial for observers (parents) if they could view instructor comments. If they had access to this information, they could better understand the grading of individual assignments and better understand the errors that their student made.
I have a new React + Flask webapp. It has its own login for users to start using the app. I have added this as an external tool in Canvas. What I want initially is to see of canvas users can start using the webapp without having to login if they click on the external tool link in a canvas course. I have 2 methods…
