I'm confused here. One of my students can see the admin/teacher's webpage and all its features. Note that in the past, he's been an observer of another training course. How do I reset his web view as a student?
Thanks so much for the replies, @NoahBoswell @mzimmerman @paul_fynn. Unfortunately, I'm on my own. So, I'm the admin, teacher, and IT support for CANVAS since we are a small organisation. I checked the person's role and removed him from all previous training (as an observer and teacher). And it still shows no improvement. But then I check the admin webpage > settings > admins (see attachment). I removed him immediately, and it works! Well, apparently, my former colleague added him as admin a long time ago
Hi @FeliciaLasmana this is quite a serious issue as they are likely to be able to see aspects of students and class work that are reserved for the teacher, which may result in breach of provacy, confidentially, data protection and assessment integrity.
As a starting point I suggest that you check the course roster (people view) and what their enrolment status is. You may be able to update or disable this here, or you may need to contact your IT support.
It is possible that they were assigned observer status at sub-account level (or has another similar status) - you may know or may need to ask IT.
Finally you may need to check / ask IT to check, whether the permission settings are correct across the various roles.
We'd be interested to hear what you find ....
@FeliciaLasmana on top of what @paul_fynn said, something I've noticed in the past is that if someone has the Admin permission under a specific sub-account, however is a student enrolled in one of those courses, if they access it the admin way through the admin panel, they are able to access everything in teacher view. I'm not sure if it's set up the same way across all schools, however that appears to be the case with ours.
However, a student having administrative permissions is kind of unheard of, there could be a reason he was assigned those permissions. It's best to reach out to your school's IT department or known canvas administrator for more information, as Paul mentioned above. They would be able to assist you with this better than we could. Or before you do that, you could go to the 'People' tab of your course, click the breadcrumb button (as I like to call it) and click Edit Role, to change their role back to student if it isn't already. I'll attach an image below to help you out if you're stuck.
Hope this helps!
@FeliciaLasmana , as @NoahBoswell said, you'll want to double-check the person's role in the course.
However, if someone has an admin role on the server, in the sub-account where the course is, their role in the course itself is largely irrelevant. However, that it not something that you will be able to tell from the People area of the course. You'll want to have Canvas Support at your school check to see if this person has an admin role within Canvas.
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
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…
