Hiding role types

[JD114]

Hello,

I am trying to figure out a way to hide the base Role types (ie. Teacher, Student, TA, Observer) from faculty when adding a user to their course. Has anyone else found a way to do this yet?

Thanks.

Hello @JD114 

Thank you for contacting the Canvas Community. We're sorry to hear you've been experiencing issues with hiding role types when adding users to courses. You can hide certain role types  from teachers by disabling the option via admin "permissions." Each user role will have an option to  be disabled so the teachers can only add "students" or "TAs" or nobody. Here is the Canvas guide:
