Our students are not able to receive external emails (non-school) via their school email accounts. Is there a way to create their login/account for them in advance and give them the credentials without having to use the email link?
Hi @KristenFridley ,
If you are using your own Canvas instance and not the "free for teachers" version, you can pre-create all the accounts and set them up either with a local password, or set them to use SSO sign-in credentials if they have logins for MS, Google, or a local authentication provider.

We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
