Elevated Permissions in Canvas

To increase efficiency and improve customer service, limited administrator access can be granted to an individual to support users and sites in Canvas for their functional unit (division, department, college/school). UM system requires that individuals must demonstrate proficiency in utilizing elevated privileges in Canvas and that certain rules, standards and guidelines are followed.

Users must have successfully completed the FERPA training in Canvas prior to receiving elevated access in Canvas. The course should appear on your Canvas dashboard if you have not previously passed the quiz. 

Depending on the level of elevated permissions you are requesting, you may also be required to obtain an Administrative ID from your campus IT department.  Your form submission will be reviewed by our staff, and we will let you know if you need the administrative ID.
