Does Canvas notify users when their account is created?
Hi @jbritschgi ...
At the Canvas account level where users can be added to the Canvas environment, it's possible to send notifications...per this Guide:
How do I create and add users to an account?
Refer to the information in the light blue box of that Guide and also the illustration under the heading "Add User Details".
Once users are added to the account, they can be added to courses with roles like Student, Teacher, TA, etc. If users are manually added to a course, they should get an e-mail notification that they've been added to the course and need to accept the course invitation. If I recall correctly, in my former role as a Canvas administrator, my team worked with our IT department (they sent over our course shells and enrollments from our SIS into Canvas), I *think* they had it set up to send an e-mail notification to users when they were added to courses via the SIS import process that Canvas also has.
Other folks here in the Community will probably chime in with more specifics, but I hope the info I've provided will be of some help.

This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
Hello, I’m wondering if Differentiation Tags can be configured as part of a Blueprint course. Our goal is to store differentiated content (pages, assessments, etc.) centrally within the Blueprint and have it already associated with specific Differentiation Tags (e.g. Support, Core, Extension). After the Blueprint is…
