How to Bulk Upload Users into a Canvas Resource/Sandbox Site. This can be done by Canvas Administrators and SubAccount Administrators.

Instructions

  • Prepare a list of users you will be adding to the Canvas Resource/Sandbox Site on a Notepad Document. This ensures that the list will copy and past correctly into Canvas.

  • This list can be made of Boise State Email Addresses, Boise State Usernames, or Boise State SIS ID Numbers. One user per line.

Here is an example:

  • Go to the Canvas Course Site you wish to add users to.

  • Select People from the Course Layout Menu

  • Select +People in the upper right-hand corner of the screen

  • Choose the format in which you are uploading users:

    • For our example, we are using Email Addresses.

    • Paste the users into the available box

    • Select Next

      • Canvas will let you know if you goof up any spelling.

      • Non-BoiseState Users cannot be added to Boise State Canvas Courses.

      • Limit the number of users uploaded to about 500 at a time.

  • Once all the errors are corrected, select Add Users and the users will be added to the course and you will see a Success Message.
