We have had canvas for a couple years. I have always been able to upload lessons to commons and then import them into my class. However, now I have message stating that, "you have no courses to import to, become a teacher, teacher aide, or course designer in the course you wish to import to" I have a ticket and went to Commons, Settings and took it out of the "approved integrations" and then went back into to Commons thinking it would reauthorize me but never got a message and it let me in and I was able to view things but I cannot share/import them into my courses. See attached

Hi Jennifer,

What course are you trying to import to? Just to confirm, do you have a Teacher, TA, or Course Designer role in that course?

You won't be able to import from Commons unless you have a role in the course with permissions to import, and the end date for the course has not passed (so that the course appears under "Past enrollments").

  Yes, I am a teacher at a high school. I have done this for a few years and
  now I don't have permission of sorts. I have spoken w/ my admin and they
  said to contact Canvas.

    When you import material from Commons, you must have a Canvas course where you are a teacher to put it into.
    
    If you look in Canvas under Courses > All Courses, do you have any courses listed where your role is shown as "Teacher", "TA", or "Course Designer", which not also in the Past Enrollments area?

      I am aware of that. I have courses. I am a teacher. I have been able to do it for several years and now the functionality is gone. I have spoken with Canvas cust service as well. Everyone is stumped.
