Note!

The teacher you try to invite must have logged in to Canvas at least once.

To add a teacher to a course room, you first enter the course room and then

Click People in the course menu.
Click + People on the right side of your screen.

You can specify your colleague either by Email address (JU e-mail) or by Login ID (JU username). Use the role Teacher (Course coordinators are automatically added and removed by a system integration) and then click Next.

Confirm your invitation by clicking Add Users. The added teacher(s) will receive a notification on their Canvas dashboard and will have to accept the invitation.

User not found?

If the user you are trying to invite is not found, this message will be displayed to you.

Screenshot showing that a specified user can't be found in Canvas.

That means that your colleague has not yet logged in to Canvas. Once they do, their Canvas user account will automatically be created and you can then redo the invitation.

If your colleague was recently hired, please instruct them to visit the Canvas intranet page as there are many helpful resources available there to get up and running.
