Share settings for Canvas course assignments

Question

I have embedded a board in a Canvas course that requires participants to edit the board. It is an icebreaker activity so it goes beyond commenting, they need to edit within a frame. I gave all students edit permission and have had issues with the board name being changed in error and locked items being unlocked. Additionally some students are unable to access the board so I’ve been inundated with emails requesting edit access despite setting it up so that all students in the course have access. This is a manually created course in Canvas.  The ‘students’ are actually lecturers at the University (it is part of a Professional Learning Series). Is there a way I can give basic editing privileges to the participants but not have them be able to edit everything? I had hoped there would be some kind of heirarchy in editing privileges but it doesn’t seem to be the case?

Hi ​@Lady SarahYou cannot create participant hierarchies for editing privileges in Lucid embedded in Canvas; all editors have the same powers and can manipulate the whole board.For tighter control, consider templates per group, explicit instructions, and routine use of revision history for error recovery.Granular editing permissions (like editable regions/frames only) are unavailable at this time.Other users also express interest in this capability - To learn more -Permissions at the layer level | CommunityHope this helps - Happy to help further!!Thank you very much and have a great one!Warm regards
