Only specific instructors for groups
If you teach a course with 300 students and 20 instructors (usually 1 teacher, plus TAs, but also 1 teacher plus project supervisors), it is normal to break students up into groups.
Unfortunately, each group carries over EVERY SINGLE instructor from the course into the group, making things like announcements completely useless since they are broadcast to every TA/instructor in the entire course. We literally have to instruct our students to never use the "Announcements" functionality within their group page.
Desired interface: after a group is created, there should be a way to specify which course instructor(s) are assigned to a group. (And via the API too, please.)
Besides cutting down on spam through the Announcements feature, this would be very useful to be able to easily look up each group's instructor from within Canvas itself — currently this needs to be done using an external spreadsheet, say.
