Is it possible to act as user in the Canvas free for teacher? We went from the paid version at our school to having to use the free version. I am used to being able to act as user for my kids to look at some of their things, but no longer can.
Hi @KaseyCoke,
The "Act As" option is only available for users who are Canvas administrators (and are given the permission to use the that option). Since Free for teacher doesn't have the ability to make any users administrators, there is really no way to use the Act As feature in that environment.
Can you tell us exactly what you were using that to look at previously, and also perhaps whether you're a teacher, school admin, etc. I'd say it's pretty rare )but not unheard of) for teachers to be given administrative access like it sounds like you had with your paid instance. If we know what exactly you were using that access to look at, we might be able to suggest some alternatives that would work in Free for teacher.

Has anyone noticed that the feedback sidebar window has gone to larger spacing? Does anyone know if there is a way to change it back? Not a major deal just a bit annoying is all. Thanks.
Are you using MyTextMate's Canvas integration, or are you relying on Canvas's push notifications to deliver crucial information about due dates and events to students? Did you know push notifications have an open rate of 2%? Compare that to text messages, which have an open rate of 98%! MyTextMate allows students to…
I am trying to generate the Item Analysis report ONLY for the current students enrolled in the course, not for previous participants. Despite deactivating and removing the former students, the Item Analysis report is still including their information. I need information for the current 5 participants, not the past 5, but…
I am trying to setup automatic email alerts to the students once the assignment due date has crossed. Is there a way to do that with Free for Teachers Canvas or other alternate options?
