The Canvas Admin Interface  

Getting  there  

To access the Canvas admin interface, click on the Admin menu in the left-hand Canvas navigation bar, then click the  Utah State University  link.

The  Courses  and  People  sections are (mostly) all you need 

Although the admin interface has many links and menus to choose from, nearly everything you will ever need to do can be done in the  Courses  and  People  sections, which happen to be the top two items in the admin navigation menu.

As noted in the image above, sometimes you may need to access the Sub-Accounts section to add new blank course shells. There are also administrative concepts, like  terms  (as in semesters) , that are useful to understand but that you will not be modifying.
