Colleagues,
Can someone confirm if disabling faculty from creating courses also disables their ability to copy courses from one to another?
Hi @RobertGibson,
Yes, removing the ability to create a course will also remove the copy option (which essentially creates a new course, then does an import). It will NOT remove the ability for faculty to import content from other courses into another existing course though.
Hope this helps!

Permissions in Canvas can be finely controlled by the system administrators , as they can set specific permissions for different roles (including controls over course creation from users).
Copying/importing content is more of a course management function than a role permission, and is different than creating a new course. If you are specifically looking for a way to prevent faculty from copying or importing content into their courses, then there may be some javascript options to explore:

I teach middle school and my students have recently discovered the ability to play the "what-if" game with grades. They are now obsessed and are playing with it all the time.

I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
