Observer Removal Button

[kbarr1]

Please consider creating a button to remove observers more easily from students. Currently you have to remove yourself from each course individually. I think you need to make a feature so that when an observer goes to their settings and views the list of students they are observing they should have an option to remove the student from the observer list.

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

Observers can remove students they are observing from their account. This change allows users with an observer role to remove observers they have been observing. Previously observers could only be removed via the API.
