Course-People Page Problems

[101238296924339]

I am currently working on getting Canvas LMS setup - self hosted.

I'm running into a problem and have looked through the settings and logs to try and figure out what's happening but couldn't figure it out.

Shown in the attached image is the People tab of a Course. There is no '+ people' button making it very inconvenient to add people. Additionally the '...' does not open any drop down menu when clicked on any Student/TA/Teacher.

Would anyone be able to provide some troubleshooting advice or things to check? Or is this just a settings/config/setup problem?

Thank you!

Hi @101238296924339 ...

Within your course "Settings" page, what do you have for Start / End dates for the course?  Is your Start date before today?  Is your End date after today?  Normally, I am used to seeing a "+ People" button that is grayed out if the dates are not set correctly in a course...or if the end date has passed.  But, it's odd to me that your button isn't showing at all.  I'm not too familiar with locally installed instances of Canvas, but maybe someone with more experience in this might have some good ideas for you.  Good luck!

The other thing to check is your role in the course versus the permissions set for that role at the admin level. The default Canvas course role permissions  are that a teacher can add/remove any other course role and TAs can add/remove students and observers; see the Users - Designers through Users - Teachers sections of the documentation. It's possible these permissions were altered or that your role in the course doesn't have the required permissions.
