LMS co-instructors echopoll

When brining a LMS course into EchoPoll it doesn't bring co-instructor and teaching assistants into EchoPoll.
Could I please request that this be added as we have more than one instructor on most of our courses.
It wouldn't be too bad if the course could be edited once in EchoPoll but I expect that would break the LMS connection.

The way to handle this right now is for each instructor to make the connection between EchoPoll and the LMS. It works like this:
LMS Course Instructor 1 makes the connection between EchoPoll and the LMS course, and the connected course is created in EchoPoll. At this stage, they are the only instructor from the LMS course in the EchoPoll course.
LMS Course Instructor 2 subsequently makes their own connection between EchoPoll and the LMS course, and they are added to the EchoPoll course that was previously connected by Instructor 1. Both names will appear on the 'details' page for the EchoPoll course as 'co-instructors'.
Any additional instructors who exist in the LMS for that course can do the same.
All of these instructors will be able to sync the course roster, run EchoPoll sessions under the course umbrella (with/without enforcing course roster), and push grades back to the LMS grade book.

Thanks for this Jocasta I understand the way this works at this time and it is something we can work with but having the staff brought through would help with the personal admin of each individual instructor having to link each module to their EchoPoll account if the module lead/ or admin/teaching assistant can do it for the entire staff list.
