I’m a course coordinator in Canvas: Why can’t I add content to my course?

If you are the Course Coordinator for a course in Canvas your permissions only allow you to view a list of course users, and add and remove users (except students). As a Course Coordinator you will not be able to add or edit content in the course..

if you wish to add or edit content you will need to first add yourself as a Teacher to the course.
