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.

Is there any way of getting this basic information - the Panda Bot AI assistant suggested clicking on the…
Hello, I am using checkpoint discussions. When I see that I have some submissions in my To Do list to grade, I click on it, go into Speedgrader, and now have to search to see which students have posted or not. It used to designate which students had posts to grade so it was easy to just go to those students. Something has…
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
