How can I add administrator in free account

[AtsushiUeda]

Hi everyone

I create free account https://www.instructure.com/ but I don't have a admin role.

How can I add administrator role?

I need to create my own environment from Git?

Thanks

Hi @AtsushiUeda,

The free account is not at all the same thing as creating your own Canvas environment from Git.  A free account would be in Instructure's "free for teacher" canvas environment.  In that environment, you cannot add administrators or anything because it's owned by Instructure.

If you want to create your own environment from open source Canvas, please see the Production Start guide.

Hope this helps!

Hi Chris, 

Please, setting up my own Canvas environment, my free-for-teacher account will keep free? I will be able to create as many account as we need for the students? Asking cause we need the Admin feature to be able to integrate Azure Lab Services to Canvas.

Hello @AtsushiUeda ...

In addition to the information you received from @chriscas, the PDF document that is linked in this document might also be of help...as it details what a normal paid Canvas environment has in comparison to a Free For Teachers (FFT) environment.  As Chris described, FFT does not have an admin side.

I hope this extra bit of information will be helpful to you.
