How do I give others permission to edit my list?

Teaching staff, including TAs and TFs, enrolled in your Canvas class site will automatically be enrolled as editors for your lists. To add other people as editors for your lists, use the Collaborators function in the reserves tool. There are two options: adding Collaborators and adding Owners. Reading list Owners can edit lists and add other Collaborators and Owners. A Collaborator can only edit the list.

1. Log into your Canvas course site. Access the tool by selecting Library Reserves from the Canvas course navigation menu.

2. On the right pane of the reading list view is the Collaborators area which lists instructors for this course. Select the Collaborators button and then select the Manage collaborators button.

3. Under Invite new collaborators enter name or email address of new Collaborators in the text box and select the Send Invitation button.

4. New people added to the list are added as a Collaborator by default. To change a person's role from a Collaborator (Can edit list) to an Owner (Can manage list), select the Manage Collaborators button.

 

5. Select the button for the collaborator whose permissions you wish to change and select Allow collaborator to manage list to make that person a list Owner. Select the remove name from list button ("x" icon) to delete a Collaborator.
