Guest & Observer Permissions

Can I permit or deny guests and/or observers in my course site?

You cannot, as the instructor, edit guest/observer role access on a course level. In Canvas this role access is reserved only for Canvas account administrators and sub-account administrators.

Most academic units have a college or departmental sub-account administrator. You may reach out to your department for help with guest/observer access or reach out to FSU's Canvas Technical Support Team for further assistance.
