Based on that line, I think all admins start out as instructors, but there's nothing stopping a course instructor from demoting a CUD to a student (which is probably how it should be if an admin is a student). If this is about a specific course, can you check with the instructor to see if they didn't demote you manually?

9 years ago I don't think so. I was seeing some instructor functionality (install assessment) but not others (manage course).

8 years ago This seems to have fixed and is no longer an issue.
If an admin (like me) visits a course where I don't have an explicit instructor account, I'm unable to access any of the instructor functionality. I see the student view, with the exception of "Install assessments" on the course home page. At the top of the page I see the "Manage Autolab" button, but not the "Manage course" button.
Can someone jump on this right away? It's affecting our ability to support instructors when they have questions.
