How do I give the guidance counselor access to all student's classes and their completed work without giving them "administrator" level rights?
Hi @jshellard,
For individual situations, instead of giving a guidance counselor access to all students and all classes (which is more likely than this but I occasionally use it), is to give the guidance counselor "observer" access (similar to a parent) to a student's entire Canvas user account. You can refer to the How do I format CSV text files for uploading SIS data into a Canvas account? guide for more information.

Hello @jshellard I addressed this need by creating a new account role that provided for the ability to see all courses, assignments, students, grades, and instructor feedback. The key here is not to assign the ability to edit anything: be it grades, pages, assignments, etc. This can be done at the root and if you want the counselor to only have access to certain subaccounts you can then add them as an Canvas admin using that new account role to the desired subaccounts. Here is an example selection of permissions. You may wish to review a few of these such as the question banks permission.

I'm an Admin in Canvas, and I'd like to know if it's possible to change the order of items in the Account menu. Now, we have: -ePortfolio (Legacy) -Shared Items -Portfolio We'd like to have Portfolio above ePortfolio (Legacy), to encourage people to use that, but I can't find a way to do it.
We are testing a third party integration from our college's ERP provider. We have connected it to our test environment. It seems to have very few features and options. So, just wondering if there is a way to monitor API calls. I was able to use the DAPClient in Python to download canvas_logs in our production environment.…
As "Ideas" section is gone (at least for now), I'm posting a feature request here. Mobile app shows a list of students who have submitted or not submitted a quiz/assignment. Would be good to have this in web version as well as way to export csv.
I’m a student exploring a small personal project related to Canvas grade notifications and student experience, and I wanted to ask about what is technically and policy-wise feasible within Canvas. Many students receive email notifications like “A new grade has been posted,” but then need to log into Canvas to actually see…
To the Canvas Product Team, I am writing to request a new global or course-level setting for the Rich Content Editor (RCE). Currently, when images are uploaded or embedded, Canvas defaults to displaying the full image. For many lab-based and data-heavy courses—such as my current molecular biology lab course—we often need…
