How do I manage a Canvas Studio group as a student?
If you are assigned to a group as the group manager, you can make changes to the group in the Studio Settings Groups page. As a group manager, you can edit the group name, add or remove individuals in a group, and grant manager permissions to other group members.
Note: Group members can manage their membership in a group. Learn more about viewing Studio groups.

Open Groups
Click the Groups tab.
