How do I create a user for Canvas Studio as an admin?

When users access Canvas Studio through Canvas, users are automatically given a Studio account, added to the Studio users list, and assigned a Studio role based on their user role in Canvas. However, if you need to add a specific user to Studio (usually as an admin), you should create their account through your institution's Studio account.

When you add a user to your Studio site, the user receives an email invitation to create a password to access the Studio site.

Note: Currently once you create a user, you cannot remove the user from the Studio account.

Enter the user's information for the account. The user's information only affects how the user is viewed in the Studio account and does not have any affect on a user's Canvas account. However, for best results, a user's Studio account information should match the user's Canvas information.

In the Full Name field [1], enter the user's full name.

In the Display Name field [2], enter the name that should be seen by other users in the account.

In the Email field [3], enter the user's email address. The user will be sent an email address to create an account password.
