How do I view and manage other Canvas Studio account groups as an admin?
As a Studio admin, you can view a list of all other groups in your institution's Studio account in your Studio Settings Groups page. Even if you are not a member of a group, as an admin, you can manage any group, including editing group names, managing the group member list and member roles, and deleting groups.
You can also view a list of all your groups. Learn more about viewing your groups.
Open Studio Settings
In Canvas Studio, click the Navigation Menu icon [1], then click the Settings link [2].
Open Groups
Click the Groups tab.
Open Other Groups
By default, Groups displays a list of all your groups. Learn more about viewing and managing your Studio groups.
To open the Other Groups list, click the Groups drop-down menu [1]. Then select the Other Groups option [2].
View Other Groups List
The Other Groups List displays all groups in your institution's Studio account in which you are not a member. When viewing Other Groups, you can search for a group and view a list of all groups at your institution.
To locate a specific group, enter the group name or group ID in the Search field [1].
The Other Groups List displays the following information:
- Group Name [2]: the name of each group; by default groups display in alphabetical order.
- Group ID Number [3]: the ID number automatically assigned to a group upon creation.
- Number of Members [4]: the total number of people in the group, including yourself.
To sort the Other Groups list by group name, ID, or member count, click a column header [5]. You can sort the list in ascending or descending order.
To view additional groups, use the page navigation icons [6]. Up to ten groups display per page.
Note: The Search function only returns matches from the currently selected group page. If your search does not return a result, you may need to switch to view the My Groups lists.
