How do I make a canvas course go public or how to add people it wouldn't let me?
Hi @dcsgolions,
Are you using the free-for-teacher Canvas instance, or one provided by a school/institution/organization which you're employed by? I ask because there could be significant differences to the procedures to add people. If free-for-teacher, if you created the course you should be able to add users via the people tool. In other instances, you'd likely need to talk to the local Canvas team to figure out how they have enrollments work. Oftentimes enrollments are automated from a student information system (sis), or there may be only specific people who have the ability to add users. It's very hard to say what the exact situation is for you because most of us in the community are just other users from around the world and have no access to your exact Canvas course or account details to offer more specific advice.
I hope this info is useful in some way though.

You also asked about making a course public. The option for doing this is documented at How do I customize visibility options for a course or course content? but your ability to do it may be restricted because of institutional policies.

With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
