[Attendance] Roll Call Assignment visibility for Observers
Currently, Observers cannot see the Roll Call Attendance Assignment. When they click on the assignment they receive the message "You do not have permission to launch this tool." Many even receive notifications that the assignment has been graded, but cannot see the assignment itself. Most Observers in the K-12 environment are parents who are interested in seeing their child's attendance record. In some cases, especially in Middle and High School, there may be situations where the parents are concerned that their child is missing school or arriving late and this tool as currently configured is a missed opportunity for helping parents monitor their child's attendance.
Observers should be able to see the Roll Call Attendance Assignment just as students are. If Observer permissions are configured to allow them to see other assignments and grades, the Roll Call Assignment should be no exception. https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Guide/How-do-I-view-my-Roll-Call-Attendance-report-as-a-s...
