We had our own domain for Canvas right now and we recently find out a participant merged himself to his own school and the SIS ID we gave him is gone.
Is it possible for us to reverse that and ban that from happening again?
Hello @Peter_Lam
Thank you for contacting the Instructure Community. From what you've explained - that is abnormal behavior as users shouldn't be able to "merge" themselves to other schools or accounts. Was this an admin, teacher, or student? If the SIS ID has been removed or deleted and you need it back, you can run a change_sis_id import that should free it back up. Here is the Canvas guide:

If that isn't the issue, then you may want to contact Canvas Support directly as users in the forum won't really be able to assist without looking at specifics.
Because of the complexity of the issue, and the concerns for privacy, it would be best if you contacted Canvas Support directly to pinpoint the source of the issue and provide a resolution:

Hello, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Moises (Moses). I am excited to start at UW's Cybersecurity Risk Management course. I opted to take this course after an interview I had, where the pre-interview questions were specific to Risk Management Framework knowledge.
I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
