Summary

This article explains how to add other users, such as Teaching Assistings and Co-Instructors, to your Canvas course. This is sometimes done to share course content with other teachers. The process of adding users differes based on whether the course is current or concluded. The course owner must initiate requests, users cannot request to be added to a class owned by someone else.
