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:

My school district has changed our required Learning Outcomes for all of our courses for this school year. How can I archive the 400+ Learning Outcomes we used last school year so they're still linked to our 25-26 courses but teachers can't use them in 26-27 courses going forward?
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. 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…
