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:

I wonder if others have had this response, but I think it is troubling messaging for students that, no matter how well they may do on an assignment, they are given a signal that anything below a perfect score should be marked/denoted with a red color, as if those grades are poor, or even lesser. I think it is harmful for…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages.
