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.

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.…
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…
Our Spanish department uses New Quizzes/Essay question type for students to record themselves talking using the record media function in the RCE. They did this all last year. However, now when the students log in to take the quize, the upload/record media icon isn't available to them. Is this a new issues? Anyone have any…
I am trying to use Learning Outcomes for my course which has many sections each term. We currently have no institutional, school or program outcomes. I created a set of outcomes for Section 1 of my course. I then labelled every question in the item banks I was using in my first quiz (New Quiz) of the semester. I got a nice…
I have been experimenting with NotebookLM for some professional and hobby interests and have discovered incredible insights from querying sources with the Gemini chatbox interface. For our ID work in Canvas, we need an AI-powered dashboard similar to NotebookLM where IDs and Directors can query about their assigned courses…
