[ARCHIVED] "limit this user to only see fellow section users"

[isaac_piercy]

Hi folks,

Our school runs several independent study courses in Canvas with upwards of 50 teacher sections. Each teacher has just a few students in their section which they grade and keep tabs on, but the rest of the students in the course need to remain hidden from them. Is there a way to turn the "limit this user to only see fellow section users" function on for every teacher in a course at one time? Ideally, I would like to do this when I enroll all the teachers into their sections through SIS import (I build the sections first via SIS import). Any tips?

As far as I know there is no built-in functionality.  A feature idea to do this programatically is being discussed here:

I have asked for a clarification on whether votes on that idea would cover an SIS import need.  At our institution, we could use the exact SIS import feature you inquired about here.
