Hi there @PittWu ,
Thank you for asking on the Instructure Community!
While the names themselves don't matter, it all really depends on the account-level permissions you grant users. For example, with most admins, if you enroll them in a course as a student under the same sub-account that they are an account admin of (with permissions that grant them access to edit course content), then even though they are enrolled in the course as a student, they will still have full access to see the course as a teacher (because they can see hidden course navigation links, unpublished modules and content, etc.).
Usually, unless a course role provides a user with additional access not inherited with account level role (such as permissions to edit content, or add users), the admin role will usually override the course role and permissions. That's why Canvas recommends for admins to create a new account to minimize confusion and so they have the same view as everyone else. I will also link a guide below that will provide you with a very detailed explanation about the different roles and permissions in Canvas. https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/What-user-roles-and-permissions-are-available-in-Canvas/ta-p/102
I hope this helps a bit!Best,Noah
Is there a way to show only the overall grade a submission received?

But we want to hide the specific feedback until everyone has done a particular assignment. I have found the grade…
With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
