What does it mean if the Help Icon has a number next to it/how can I replicate that? Does that mean that someone has submitted a "report a problem" ticket, and the user logged in is an admin, a field admin, etc.?

Based on your question, I'm assuming that you are a Canvas administrator at your school. The number (badge) that sometimes displays above the "Help" icon on the left-hand global navigation bar has nothing to do with "Report a Problem" or anything related to a specific user being logged in. Rather, that number is related to Release Notes and Deploy Notes linked here in the Canvas Community. Check out the section on "View Release Notes" near the bottom of this Guide:

Hi, Has anyone pursued establishing an on-site/on-campus backup of their Canvas instance (updated and ultimately similarly functional to the Beta or Test instances provided when Instructure hosts your LMS in AWS)?
My team is currently going through the different LTIs/APIs we have installed in our Canvas instance and making sure we have a full list of what permissions each one has, what information it gives/receives, etc. However, the list of LTIs/APIs is contradictory - the new Apps page has a Monitor tab which lists launches of…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
