Are the messages that I send to my students / fellow students are private? Or I have access to them (if so, how to check) and other administrators
Anyone with the permissions to masquerade as another user (typically limited to Canvas admins) can see the messages within Canvas. If those messages go out via email, then anyone with access to the student's email can read them. At our school, that's a network administrator (different from Canvas administrator, but they may be the same at your institution). I don't have time to check right now, but I believe people with access to Canvas Data can access the messages. A court can issue a subpoena to get access to the information if warranted. If someone shares their computer or leaves the browser open, then whoever has access to that computer can read messages.
If you delete a message, you're only deleting your copy of the message, not the recipients. Think twice before hitting send and don't say anything that you wouldn't want other people to read.
Most electronic messaging has the same limitations.

If someone hits the old link, after entering their…
I have been asked to discover whether Canvas Catalog can accept eCheck payments. My thought is that since Catalog is configured to redirect to a payment form at our Payment Gateway, that this might be more a question of configuring an additional option into the Catalog and payment gateway settings. Has anyone done this?

The error message is "account not linked" after clicking continue at this step: When I try to go into this teacher's course as an admin and…
