This is the error our teachers are getting. Canvas is not responding to requests for help.
@adrew I am sorry to hear that your teachers are having issues with the PowerSchool/Canvas integration. This "Request is forbidden/unauthorized" message is an most likely an indicator that there is an issue with either the authentication or permissions that Canvas has with PowerSchool. The issue most likely has to be resolved by Canvas Support, though if it is an issue with the permissions Canvas has with PowerSchool, you may need to contact PowerSchool Support as well the get that resolved (Many schools have had issues where Canvas only provided "read" access and wasn't provided "write" access to PowerSchool, and this prevents Canvas from being able to passback grades).
Since you state that you have already contacted Canvas Support and they haven't gotten back to you, I recommend that you reach out to your CSM about the issue as well.

If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
