Merging Canvas Accounts

Is there a way to merge Canvas accounts for students and staff?  We have several students in programs outside our school who participate in Canvas as well as teachers who are in higher ed that use Canvas.  Is there a way to merge these accounts for a single sign on?

 @jelfrink ​, thanks for clarifying your question. It is my understanding that credentials in different accounts (or "instances," as they are also called) cannot--or at minimum, should not--be merged. The student or teacher needs to use a specific URL and set of credentials to log into each Canvas instance. I'd refer you to this piece of a recent conversation, as it contains advice from Canvas Support on this matter: One email, two accounts
