Likely, you won't have the permissions to add users or promote to admin as linked above on the production bCourses Canvas instance, but these articles are still useful for use in the [Sandbox]({{ 'canvas/sandbox' | relative_url }}). For production bCourses, check out:

## Emails
51-
* We don't recommend using emails as primary keys.

* While emails are unique, they are not a singular identifier of a person. A person may change their [CalNet ID](https://calnet.berkeley.edu/calnet-me/manage-my-calnet-account/you-change-your-calnet-id). In most cases, the updated CalNet ID is used, however the first CalNet ID is not deleted so it may still surface.

* Additionally, people may set up email aliases. It can be annoying to detect when an alias is provided in place of a login email.

* Student IDs (SIDs) are found in Canvas under "SIS User ID" or "SIS ID."

* Sometimes, a SID is unavailable so the value will be "UID:*******" (Canvas user ID).

* Because of this, do not assume that SIS User IDs are numeric.
