What is the Aide role?

Question

I was curious about this user role.

I found guides for all the other user roles (Student, Teacher, Observer, Designer, and TA) but could not find what permission are/are not granted for this user role.

The "Aide" role that you speak of sounds to me like a custom role that your school's Canvas administrator has set up on the back-end of Canvas.  "Aide" is not an "out-of-the-box" role provided by Instructure (the folks that make Canvas).  Check out this Guide for more details on the roles that you get from Instructure:

What user roles and permissions are available in Canvas?

I'm also assuming that your Canvas admin set up the "Aide" role with custom permissions specific to that role.

I hope this helps to answer your question.  If not, please come back to this thread to ask more questions.
