The People page is what you are needing. It is the official roster for your course. Check out this page to dive into some of the things you can do from that page: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Instructor-Guide/How-do-I-use-the-People-page-in-a-course-as-an-i...

Once on that page, students are sorted by their last name by default. If you click on a person's name, it will pop up an info box on the right side of the screen. There will be a letter symbol that can be clicked on to message the student directly.

What is your role in the class? Are you the instructor? an observer? A student?

If you are the instructor, you would have no problem contacting the student through the People tab. However, it sounds like you are not the instructor.

Many schools will have a policy of hiding the People tab to protect student privacy. That's why you are not able to see his personal information nor send him a personal message.

@JeffCampbell  I see that your reply has been marked as a "solution." However, the real issue here is that the original poster is most likely not the course instructor, but a fellow classmate. That's why she doesn't have the ability to message her classmate.

I did not mark it as a solution, but I do see your point about this person potentially being a student in the class.
