I'm a contract lecturer and found the Course Roster (I think that's what it was called) useful for identifying students and some info about which Masters course they were doing. The only tab now is the "People" one, which is far less useful
Hi @JohnMackay,
It sounds to me like your school/institution had a 3rd party or custom developed tool integrated into Canvas that provided that functionality. I've been a Canvas admin for over 10 years, and I can say with confidence that the People tool is the only roster-type tool that Canvas has ever had built in. You might want to reach out to your school/institution Canvas team (usually in the eLearning / IT / Digital Education areas) to find out if they had such a tool and whether they removed it on purpose or if there's perhaos an update coming. Those of us here in the community here are other Canvas users form around the world and don't have access to your Canvas instance or your school's list of tools or anything to give specific information on something like this.
I hope the info helps a bit though! Please feel free to come back and reply if you learn anything more about this.

We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. 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…
