    How do I merge users in an account?

    <p>You can merge two users within your account. Merging accounts combines the logins, contact methods, and enrollments for the two user accounts. After the accounts have been merged, the user can use the logins that originated from either account to view all their course enrollments within the same account.</p> <p><strong>Note</strong>: Merging user accounts cannot be undone.</p>
  • <p>You can manually edit a user's details in your account.</p> <p><strong>Note: </strong>If your account manages user information through a student information system (SIS), changes will also have to be made in the SIS. Any changes made in Canvas will not be passed back to the SIS.</p>
