Hi @DanielKool

The general instructions for adding a person to a Canvas course are at https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-add-users-to-a-course/ta-p/1119

However, if you are using your school's Canvas server, student enrollments may be automatically updated from the school's SIS, so instructors may not have permissions to manually add students to a course in Canvas.  (That's the way my school does it, since Canvas is automatically updated with enrollments from the SIS.)

If you are not sure, you'll want to contact the Help Desk at your school to confirm the school's policies on Canvas enrollments.
