Granting access to another professor

[aiyer]

Hi everyone.  I am a professor in a developmental science course, and have just put together my Canvas shell.  Another professor is also teaching the course, but during a different day/time.  I would like him to be able to see my Canvas shell, but preferably without adding him to the "People" list.  Is there an alternative way to do this so that he can essentially see what I see, but not be able to edit?

Thanks!

Hi @aiyer - Does your institution have a policy for Observers? While an observer can't see what you see as an instructor, they can get a feel for the course from the perspective of a non-participating user. 

What is the Observer role? 

If this user role would work, you'd likely need to reach out to your registrar or local Canvas Administrator/Support Team for assistance. 😊
