[Calendar] Institutional Admins should be able to access all account calendars
| This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas LMS |
Admins at the institutional level cannot add an account calendar (or events to that account calendar) unless they are a "student" in that sub-account. I have 10 account calendars visible, but on my calendar I can only add 2 because I'm in those sub-accounts as a "student." I thought this was a bug at first so I reached out to Support and here is the response I got: "Users need to be enrolled in a course that belongs in the same sub-account for the calendar to appear. That's how it has been designed as of right now."
Institutional admins should be able to add all visible calendars to their admin calendar without having to be a "student" in the sub-account, thus making it possible for them to add events to those account calendars. I can't imagine any admin going in and making himself or herself a "student" in a course. That could be very time consuming for a large number of visible account calendars.
