Hello,
I'm using a docker Canvas install for some LTI development and I'm not sure how to add other users. If I invite them under Admin / Site Admin / People it looks like it emails a confirmation/password setting that isn't going through. I'm not sure if emails are disabled on the docker container, or email servers are dismissing the fake domain as spam, but I never get the invite email. How can I locally create some test accounts? Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @TromboneKenny,
Assuming the Docker Canvas install works pretty much like a hosted instance, you should have a SIS Import menu on your Admin screen. This will let you import a users.csv file and omit the email confirmation steps.
There's documentation of the users.csv file format in the Canvas technical documentation. It includes a sample users.csv file you can adjust to your needs.

Thank you, that worked for my needs.
