I am a new user to Canvas LMS and created a new free account. I want to set up a couple of courses and students and my understanding is that I need an Admin account to add users/students. How do I create or get access to an admin account?
Greetings @DavidChin56 ,
Welcome, and thank you for posting on the Instructure Community!
On the free for teacher canvas instance, which is what you have access to, you don't actually need full admin permissions to add students to courses! You just have to be enrolled in your course as a Teacher. There are multiple ways you can add students to your courses, however for free for teacher, I mostly suggest having the user sign up for a student account, and then using a join code to your course to officially join your course. You can locate this join code in your course settings after enabling it. I'll also provide a few links below with some additional information to help you out, if needed!

Has anyone noticed that the feedback sidebar window has gone to larger spacing? Does anyone know if there is a way to change it back? Not a major deal just a bit annoying is all. Thanks.
Are you using MyTextMate's Canvas integration, or are you relying on Canvas's push notifications to deliver crucial information about due dates and events to students? Did you know push notifications have an open rate of 2%? Compare that to text messages, which have an open rate of 98%! MyTextMate allows students to…
I am trying to generate the Item Analysis report ONLY for the current students enrolled in the course, not for previous participants. Despite deactivating and removing the former students, the Item Analysis report is still including their information. I need information for the current 5 participants, not the past 5, but…
I am trying to setup automatic email alerts to the students once the assignment due date has crossed. Is there a way to do that with Free for Teachers Canvas or other alternate options?
