Add User to Your Canvas Course

To be able to add a user to your Canvas course, you must be listed as the Course Owner. You will typically only be set up that way in non-academic Canvas courses.

1. Navigate to your Canvas course.

2. Click on the People tab from the lefthand navigation bar.

3. Click the +People button near the top right of the page.

4. You can choose to add by email address (abc0102@westminsteru.edu) or login ID (abc0102).

5. Select the Role you would like them to have: Student, Teacher, Course Owner, Observer, TA, or Designer.

6. Click Next.

7. Verify information is correct, then click Add Users.

8. The user will receive an email invitation to join the course. They will also see a notification at the top of the Canvas homepage when they sign in next. The user will show as pending until they accept the invitation.
