I'm trying to add another teacher to my canvas page so they can get into my pages and to my Clever pages, but I can't find the way my IT said to do this
Hi @espinrl,
If you have the appropriate permissions, you can add another Canvas user account to a Canvas course by following the instructions in the How do I add users to a course? - Instructure Community - 1119 guide.
If you are not able to follow these instructions, you either:
I would recommend that you ask your IT Department to confirm that you have the appropriate permissions.
If you have the appropriate permissions, your IT Department should be able to temporarily act as your Canvas user account to confirm that it is working as it should or they may have to get in contact with Canvas Support directly.
I hope this information helps you out.

In your course, go to the People page. You will see a blue button in the upper right that says +People. That is the option you want.
This will bring up a pop-up menu. The easiest way can often be via email (which is what pops up by default). Add their email in the text box. Down below are some settings. You will likely want to use either Teacher or Co-Teacher. This will allow the person to run the course like a teacher. Make sure to uncheck the setting about only interacting with users in their section.
There is more information here: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-users-to-a-course/ta-p/1119
If you are still having an issue, please upload a screenshot showing what you feel is not working correctly so we can better help you. If you do not see Teacher or Co-Teacher options, you will need to talk to your tech support as the users on here will not have access to your Canvas instance to assist.
BTW, this will only add them to your Canvas course. This will not give them the ability to access your Clever links. For that, you will need to talk to Clever, or ask one of your techs to come assist you if they know how to do it.
I don't know about Clever pages, but for Canvas, you'd need to go to the People tab, there's a button "+ People" on the top right, and then you'll be able to write in their email or ID, and choose their role.

Still, you may not be able to add another teacher, depending on your institution's policies. For example, I have a a teacher role, and I can add a TA, a grader, or a designer (among a couple others), but not a teacher or student.
In that case, your IT or Canvas support would need to do that.
Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
