User Creation Report

[lecia_sims1]

Is there a report I can run that will show when a user was added and how?  Ex.  I want to know who was added by SIS and who was added manually.  In addition, if manually, which individual with admin privileges.  I bet there is - but I have searched until my head hurts!  😞

I'm not sure of the answer to this question, but I'm going to share this with the https://community.canvaslms.com/groups/canvas-developers?sr=search&searchId=540cb597-5c0c-40e3-a0c4-...‌ group in the Community to see if they can help!

 @lecia_sims1 , I started to write the response here, then realized it was long enough and hopefully useful enough that it could stand alone as a blog. The short version is that there is no way to find out which admin created a user account or when the account was created without using Canvas Data (or Kona's suggestion to contact Canvas Support). There are some built-in reports to tell you who was created using SIS.

Here's the long version including what doesn't work and some MySQL scripts to run against Canvas Data to get the answers: Finding user account creation details

Thank you - any help is appreciated.  🙂
