How do I change or update a User Role?

Setup > Users & Roles > Users

INS_Setup_Users

In Insights, go to Setup, and under Users & Roles, click Users.

Only Assessment Coordinators have the ability to change or update a user roles.

All faculty and staff in your Canvas account, or subaccount, depending on how your site is set up, are pre-populated into Insights. All are set up with the Faculty role permission as the default, with the exception of the initial Assessment Coordinator. This does not mean all Faculty are using Insights; rather, it simply indicates that they have access to it when it makes sense for them to begin using it.

  1. In the user table (above), Assessment Coordinators will go to the Role column.
  2. Click the role name (ie Faculty) in the user row.
  3. Next, click the down arrow that displays to see the list of role options (Assessment Coordinator, Program Coordinator or Faculty).
  4. Select the desired role permission.

A confirmation message displays at the top stating the user role was successfully updated.
