You can add new users to your account. Users can only be added at the account level. Only root account admins can add users to an account.
If you use SIS Imports, you do not need to add any users to your account, as they can be added through your student information system (SIS).
Account Invitations
When a user account is manually added, Canvas gives an option to generate an account invitation. If this invitation is sent, the user is invited to complete the registration process by creating a password. Once the user has an account, the user can also be added to a course. If a user is invited to a course without having an account, the user will have to create an account before accepting the course invitation.
When users are invited to a course manually, they can view the course invitation link in their email and click it to view a preview of the Canvas course. To officially accept, they must click an Accept button in the Canvas interface. However, if you prefer to disable course previews and have users automatically join the course when they view the Canvas course, please contact your Customer Success Manager to disable invitation previews.
Email Addresses
Canvas identifies users by email address. When students are added to a course, Canvas attempts to reconcile any email address conflicts when the user first logs in to the course:
Note: You can also add a user to a sub account by adding them to a course associated with the sub account.
