Manage Lab Services user lists from Canvas

[!INCLUDE preview note]

When a lab is created within Canvas, the lab user list is automatically populated and synced with the course membership. An automatic sync is triggered every 24 hours. Educators can also manually sync the user list when needed.

Sync users

Educators can use the Sync button to trigger a manual sync once the course membership is updated.

Once the automatic or manual sync is complete, adjustments are made to the lab depending on whether the lab has been published or not.

If the lab has not been published at least once:

• Users will be added or deleted from the lab user list as per changes to the course membership.

If the lab has been published at least once:

• Users will be added or deleted from the lab user list as per changes to the course membership.
• New VMs will be created if there are any new students added to the course.
• VM will be deleted if any student has been deleted from the course.
• Lab capacity will be automatically updated as needed.

Next steps

Users will be automatically registered to the lab and VMs will be assigned to them on their first login to Azure Lab Services. That is, when they first access the tab having Azure Lab Services app.

To manage VM pools, see Manage a VM pool in Lab Services from Canvas.
