Issue
How a teacher can change a user's role in a Canvas course.
Resolution
Important: teachers can only change user roles for manually added users. Teachers are not able to change the role of a student in an academic course who was automatically enrolled due to registering via Wolverine Access.
- Navigate to the course > People.
- Search for the user whose role you would like to change.
- Click the 3 vertical dots on the far right side of their line.
- Select Edit Role.
- Select the new role you would like that user to have.
- Note: Users are not notified of this role change in Canvas.
- For details about U-M Canvas role permissions, please see this article.
