Hi  @a_mcgeown  Welcome to the Canvas Community.

I just looked that one up here https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-13963-67952830770 

It does not appear that TAs can create Announcements.

A work around could be that your role gets changed to Teacher. But that would need to be discussed with the class instructors first.

Hoping the year is going well for you otherwise. 

Sorry I could not have been more help.

Hi thanks for your reply. My manager and colleague are both registered as TAs and can create announcements. So could it be that my permissions are different?

Hmmm. I would get them to check their role in the course. They might have been made a teacher?
