[ARCHIVED] Some options in "Assign to" are missing

[Mrs_M]

Many teachers at my school want to be able to assign something to a group of students using the "Assign" section of an assignment--NOT the checkbox for making something a group assignment. Unfortunately, the only options showing in the dropdown menu at our school are individual students and course sections, no groups.

Here are the only options I have:

Here are the options the other school has:
