How do I rank up in the Instructure Community?

Moving up to a new rank in the Instructure Community requires members to meet certain requirements and engage and participate in the Community in specific ways. Increasing your Community rank opens up more opportunities to engage and participate in the Community, shows other members that you engage often and are knowledgeable about Instructure products, and may allow you access to specific features not available to other Community members. Rank names display beneath a user's username in most areas of the Instructure Community. Ranks and permissions are subject to change.
