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:

I am currently experiencing an issue where a student’s assignment grade appears in Moderate, but it is not populating in the Canvas gradebook. I have verified the submission is there, but the grade is still missing from the gradebook view. Is there a known fix or additional step needed to get the grade to display properly?
Due dates and available from / until dates are very confusion. I would like to provide a specific time period during which students can see and get access to an assignment. I would also like to limit the time available to complete the assignment regardless when the student starts. E.g., An assignment becomes available at 7…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
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…
