Anyone have ideas for how you could see which (people) groups in a course a student belongs to?
I don't see an API endpoint to do that directly, but perhaps you could get all the groups in the course and search each one for the student?
@stelpstra created a useful macro-enabled Excel workbook that uses the API to pull all the group information from a course into one area for easier viewing. You could then search for the student's name in Excel to quickly find all the groups they are in.
The workbook, and instructions on how to use it, can be found in this document created by Jaap. Automated report of group sets, groups and members in a course.
When I emulate a student and view other students' profiles, some of those profiles include the group membership in the Enrollments section like the third bullet here::
But most do not. How can I make display of the group membership a default for all profiles?

I have a developer key in our Test instance: How would I use this in a local program to make a REST API call? Looking at https://developerdocs.instructure.com/services/canvas/oauth2/file.developer_keys: Developer keys are OAuth2 client ID and secret pairs stored in Canvas that allow third-party applications to request…
I'm building a tool for my institution that imports grades from another LTI tool into Canvas so instructors can automate late assignment policies not otherwise supported by Canvas. I'm trying to use the LTIv1.3 ID which is readily available on the LTI-side as a link to the student record on Canvas, but I can't find the ID…
How can one track Canvas Media use without having the reports available from Canvas Studio? Checking API endpoints and the Data 2 schema, there do not seem to be dedicated Canvas Media endpoints. Am I missing some? A method I've considered is using the body field of the wiki_pages table, as this contains the html code of…
