Associate Role in Canvas
Please remember to have associates who are enrolled in your Canvas courses set to the 6-12 Associate Role.
These permissions are set to the items they need to access.
If the associates are in a different role, this can have unintentional consequences that might create glitches in your Canvas courses.

Pairing an Observer Role - Student Generated
In Canvas, the Observer Role can be used to enroll parents, mentors, and guests who would like to participate in a Canvas course but do not need to earn course credit. One misconception is that teachers have to pair the observer account. This is a possible scenario, but students can also generate their pairing code as well!
Observer Role Information
Observers have limited permissions that allow them to see what is going on in a course without interrupting the flow of daily course communication. Like students, Observers cannot view a course until it is published and the course has started.
Observers may be able to view assignments, course events, and grades for a student in the Canvas Parent app. For more information about course-level user permissions, view the Canvas Course Permissions resource document.
