Hi.
We have encountered an issue regarding sharing of videos in Canvas Studio. We feel we should warn the community about this.
If you (user A) share a video with someone and choose "Can edit" permission, the recipient (user B) can delete your video. There is a warning in place that this is a possibility, so in that regards it's OK. Though in my opinion "Edit" does not encompass the functionality of deleting, but that is another discussion.
BUT and here is the warning:
If a user(user A) share a video with "Can view" permission with another user (user B). User B can then re-share the video with another user (user C) with "Can edit" permission. If user C then delete the video it get deleted from all users in the share chain including user A. How in the world is it possible for a video to be re-shared with higher permissions (Can edit) than the initial permission setting (Can view)?
As a side note; we are getting quite fed up by being treated as beta tester by Instructure. They rely on us paying customers to find these "bugs" and report them. This is such a massive bug and should not have ended up in production code.
