I have a Canvas teacher account and I want to become an observer for my son but I do not want to make a new account. is there a way to become an observer through my teacher account?
@ScienceJar27 It is absolutely possible to observe your son! You can be added to a course your son is in with the Observer role (on your teacher account) and you'll be able to observe him that way no problem! You will need the teacher or an admin to add you to the course, most likely.
Hope this helps, reach out with any questions! Always happy to help!

I have been asked to discover whether Canvas Catalog can accept eCheck payments. My thought is that since Catalog is configured to redirect to a payment form at our Payment Gateway, that this might be more a question of configuring an additional option into the Catalog and payment gateway settings. Has anyone done this?

The error message is "account not linked" after clicking continue at this step: When I try to go into this teacher's course as an admin and…
