I am a district administrator and I need to create a list of student pairing codes so that we are able to help parents create an account during our registration events. I can only find how to do as a student or instructor. Is it possible for an administrator to create a list for all students?

The Pairing Code FAQ document at https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Resource-Documents/Pairing-Codes-FAQ-PDF/ta-p/388738 describes the process that admins use to create a pairing code on behalf of the student, as well as giving other useful information. Basically
- The ability to generate pairing codes on behalf of a student is managed by the Users - generate observer pairing code for students permission. This permission can be managed in Account Permissions and Course Permissions. For more information on this permission, please view the Canvas Account Role Permissions PDFor Canvas Course Role Permissions PDF.
- If this permission is enabled, a user can generate a pairing code on behalf of a student from the student’s User Details page. For more information, please view the lesson How do I generate a pairing code for an observer as an instructor?
It is possible to generate pairing codes in bulk for all the students in a particular course (https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-generate-a-pairing-code-for-an-observer... ), but that only gives the parent observer rights for the student in that course, not system-side.
