Bio:
I am passionate about solving problems, Liverpool football club, and Marmite, although probably not in that order. One of my duties has been as the technical LMS lead for Virginia's Community Colleges for the past 15 years or so, and now as they have moved from another LMS to Canvas. While far from a hard-core programmer, I enjoy making life easier for myself and college staff (in that order). I am mildly proud of building an elegant per diem calculator, and of being on Google's Higher Education Customer Advisory Board.

The privacy email is non-responsive at Khan Academy. We would need a Full HECVAT, but it's not clear if there is one for this integration.

You could use the "has" option. #application:has(#global_nav_login_link[href="/login"]) { #mobile-header{ display:none; } }

Thanks for the quick response, @AkosFarago. I do have a ticket open. Are you sure that the user holds a sub-account Admin role in a Canvas sub-account? Absolutely sure. We would love to better un...
