This behavior has been resolved and deployed to the production environment as of 3/01/23.
Description
When an instructor or admin visits the Collaborations page of a course or group, they are only able to delete their own collaborations.
Expected Behavior
“If you are the course instructor or the creator of a collaboration, you can delete the collaboration from Canvas.”
How do I delete a collaboration as an instructor?
The student guide only states “If you are the creator of a collaboration, you can delete the collaboration from Canvas.”
Workaround
Admin act as the collaboration’s creator and delete
Steps to Reproduce
Prerequisites: A user with an authorized Google account enrolled in a course (can be any role) and one or two additional teacher enrollments
As the Google user, create a Google Docs collaboration in the course (if this generates a page error, create a fresh user and authorize a Google account on the Collaborations page again)
As another teacher or admin, see that you are unable to delete the course collaboration
