As an admin, you can view and manage sub-accounts in Canvas Career. Sub-accounts help establish your account's hierarchical structure and house courses and enrollments.
Notes:
- Sub-accounts that contain courses cannot be deleted.
- Each root account automatically includes a sub-account called Manually-Created Courses that manages multiple backend processes for Canvas and cannot be deleted.
