Enrolling Canvas Admins in a course as a student

Question

Hello all,

We need to enroll several admins into professional development courses as students, but their admin permissions allow them to see the grades for all the other students.

Can we create an "Admin - Student" role at the system level that we can use when we enroll them as a student so they see everything in that particular course as a student and not an admin? Will this role in the course override their system-level admin role? We need them to just be a regular student in the course.

Thanks.

Hi Chris,

I was afraid of that. Hypothetically, what if we could create two sub-accounts directly beneath the root account. The Academics leadership would have admin rights at the Academics sub-account level and below. We could then enroll them as true "students" within the professional development sub-account, correct?

Thanks.

Hi @BradleyMills,

Yes, that kind of structure would work well as long as none of the roor-level admins also need to enroll in the PD courses.
