Canvas SubAccount Administrator Roles

• SubAccount Admin: This is the broadest role available to users at the department or program level. This permission will most likely be assigned to the program’s non-production course area within Canvas (i.e., the program’s AUX account).
  This role allows the user to do the following.

  • Create, Edit, or Delete non-production courses.

  • Add or remove users from non-production courses.

• SubAccount Admin Assistant: This role is one step lower than SubAccount Admin.

  This role allows the user to see everything in the SubAccount.

• Live Course Admin: This role allows access to the department or program’s production courses. Production courses include any courses taught face-to-face, as a hybrid, or remote, or, for fully online programs, their online course sections.
  This role has no control over enrollments. The role is intended for departments or programs that:

  • Perform their own technical support.

  • Copy courses from the non-production account (i.e., the AUX SubAccount) into live. teaching/term sites for the faculty.

  • Monitor all “live” courses.
