Hi @willamwatson1 ,
Does your school pay for Canvas? Are you using the free for teacher version?

Either way, there are a couple ways to view the people in your course. The first way is locating the 'People' button located on your courses side-navigation bar. Another way is by going to your course settings > sections and by clicking on the name of the section and the list of people will appear.

The last way to view your users is by adding /users to the end of your course URL. For example, the URL would look like this: schoolname.instructure.com/courses/344/users. Replace schoolname with your school's name, or with the word canvas if you're using the free for teacher edition.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions!

Noah

Hi @willamwatson1,

If you are not seeing a "People" link from the left-side course navigation, you may have clicked on the "three horizontal lines" icon (commonly referred to as a "hamburger" menu in web design) in the upper-left corner next to either the Canvas logo or your institution's logo.

The University of Minnesota has a "Canvas: Course Navigation Menu Show/Hide Toggle" support article at https://it.umn.edu/services-technologies/how-tos/canvas-course-navigation-menu-showhide that can help you out.

You could check in course Settings, under the Navigation tab, to see if People is activated. Activated items appear in the top list. If it's in the bottom list, you can drag it to the top. Don't for get to press Save at the bottom before leaving Navigation.
