See Who Is Observing a Student

[jldrake5]

I know how to look at an observer's information and see which student(s) they are following, but how do I look at a particular student and see who is observing the student?

Hello @jldrake5 

Thanks for posting this in the Canvas Community! 

I don't think there is a clear way to look at a student and who is observing them. However, the work around I use is I usually go to the People area of the course and filtering by the observer drop down. Under the users Role it should list that they are Observing and display the students name. I am not sure if there is another way to find this....This is just a work around I used to locate that information when needed. 

Hopefully this helps!

I have recently asked this same question. Has anyone found a way to view the observers linked to a student from a student's account? The above suggested work around is still from the observer's side.

Settings > Reports > Provisioning > Configure > Select "User Observer CSV".  You will get a csv file and you can find the student under the "student_id" field.  Correlate that to and copy the "canvas_observer_id".  Search for that field information in the "People" search box/screen
