Report on Pending Users

[Mandeep_Dhesi]

Hi All

Is there a way in which Canvas can produce a report to show what users have not accepted an invitation to join  a course but are shown as pending ?

I have around 50 users who are showing as pending and have not enrolled on the course and it would be useful if Canvas could produce  a report showing me who these users are instead of scrolling up and down the screen to find these users.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Regards

Mandeep

 @Mandeep_Dhesi , greetings! I did some looking and I don't see a way to do that on the front end of Canvas. There might be a way to do it on the back-end, but that's beyond my expertise level. 

Sorry I couldn't be more help! Kona

If you have access via the API, you can get a list of pending enrollments by sending a request to the enrollments endpoint:

https://yourschool.instructure.com/api/v1/courses/:course_id/enrollments?state=invited‍

Remember to substitute your course ID for the variable.

That will return an array of users who have been invited to a course. Using something like Postman for a single request like this is helpful.

If you have some scripting knowledge, there is a Python library I rely on for all kinds of reporting like this maintained by UCF. You have more flexibility in getting results in a more readable form this way.

There is also a helpful document by  @stuart_ryan ‌ with step-by-step instructions on how to do API calls within Canvas.

Here's how directly from Canvas Support:

Happy to help! On the "People" page, you will see "X invitations haven't been accepted. Resend" at the top above all users. This equals all pending invitations.

If you click the "All roles" dropdown, it will also let you sort by users. It will tell you how many users of each role exists in the course.

Another option to see how many users you have is to go to "Settings," then click "Sections." Each section will list how many users are in it.
