  1. In your WeBWorK course, click Classlist Editor.
  2. Click the pencil icon under the Login Name column next to the user called "Test Student."

IMPORTANT NOTE: After you have completed these steps, ensure that the demo user does not access the WeBWorK course via Canvas after this. Otherwise, this would revert the demo user's permission level back to “Student” and you will need to redo all the steps again.
