Canvas Observer Account
In Canvas, the Observer role can be used to enroll parents/guardians. Observers have limited permissions that allow them to see what is going on in a course without interrupting the flow of daily course communication. Observers may be able to view assignments, course events, and grades for a student in the Canvas Parent app.

Canvas Parent App
In the Canvas Parent app, you can create a Canvas Observer account to view student course information. If you already have an account, you can log in to the Canvas Parent app. To link yourself to a student, you will need to enter a student-specific pairing code that will link you to the student. Pairing codes are valid for seven days. Students can generate pairing codes from their User Settings. Depending on institution permissions, admins and instructors may also be able to generate pairing codes. For more information on pairing codes, view the Pairing Codes - FAQ.
