How do I create a Canvas Studio user as an admin?
As an admin, you can manually add users to your institution's Canvas Studio account. You can also manage user accounts and assign users with the Canvas Studio Admin role.
If you need to add a specific user to Studio, especially as an admin, you should manually create their account in Canvas Studio.
If your institution uses the Canvas Studio LTI in Canvas, the first time a user accesses Studio in Canvas, Studio automatically creates an account, adds the user in the Studio users list, and assigns them a Studio role based on their user role in Canvas.
When you add a user to your Studio account, the user receives an email invitation to create a password to access your institution's Canvas Studio site.
Note: Currently once you create a user, you cannot remove the user from the Studio account.
Open Studio Settings
In the Studio Navigation menu, click the Settings tab.
Create User
Click the Studio Users tab [1]. Then, click the Create User button [2].
Enter User Details
Enter the user's information for the account. The user's information only affects how the user is viewed in the Studio account and does not have any affect on a user's Canvas account. However, for best results, a user's Studio account information should match the user's Canvas information.
In the Full Name field [1], enter the user's full name.
In the Display Name field [2], enter the name that should be seen by other users in the account.
In the Email field [3], enter the user's email address. The user will be sent an email address to create an account password.
If you want to give admin rights to the user, click the Is Admin checkbox [4].
Save User
Click the Save button.
