Teacher Roles

Last updated: July 29, 2026

Summary

In Eduframe, it is possible to give teachers a specific role in a course, meeting (template) or subevent. This makes it possible to communicate to teachers what is expected of them. You can read more about this in the article below.

How to Configure Teacher Roles in Canvas? (optional)

It is possible to link the Eduframe teacher role to a teacher role in Canvas. If you link the roles, it will automatically sync the teachers into the correct role to Canvas.

As an admin go to the Permissions page of your root account in Canvas. Check the permissions of the standard Course roles or create a new custom role by clicking on 'Add role'. 
For more information about adding a new role in Canvas check this article.

How to Connect Roles Eduframe to Canvas? (optional)

You can connect the roles from Eduframe to Canvas under Plugins. More information about this can also be found in 📄 How to specify Teacher Roles in Eduframe?.

More information about the Eduframe-Canvas integration can be found in 📄 Canvas LMS integration.

Notes:

  • When you don't fill in a 'Canvas role', the teacher will not be synced to the Canvas course and therefore won't have access. However, the teacher role still can be used within Eduframe to communicate the role of the teacher on a meeting.

  • When you use a standard teacher role, it is not case sensitive. If you create your own custom role it is case sensitive.
