[SIS] Treat missing users as "suspended" rather than "deleted" when Diffing

Status: Completed Submitted by on ‎03-10-2022 03:09 PM
This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

Add a flag to the SIS Imports API to control the default status used for missing Users in a diffing feed.  This would be something similar to the existing diffing_drop_status used for enrollments.  Something like diffing_user_status with options for "deleted" or "suspended" would control how missing users will be processed.

This is a huge issue for my college and a source of a great time stealer from my time. We also cannot use records in Canvas if those records are not accurate.

This appears to be fixed with recent SIS Import update from Aug 2023?  We have not tested it, yet, but we will as soon as we can after the start of the semester rush.
