We are six months into our transition to Canvas. The user community was touted as a "great resource" for new ideas and features. I am regularly finding issues such as the ability to hide grading rubrics from students and the inability to only allow student graders to see the assignment they are grading, while hiding the rest of the gradebook from them. I am able to see that these are ideas that have been in the ideas queue since 2020, but I am unable to upvote or comment on them or describe the impact on our campus because Community roles prohibit me from doing so because I haven't participated in the community enough. Maybe. I can't be sure, because all I see is that each community level has unspecified "elevated permissions".
I'm currently frantically working on building a process so that I can collect student performance grades from second year students who are reviewing first year students. I'm building this in Microsoft Forms and will need to reformat this file to import it into the gradebook and capture the comments properly. I can't use the Canvas rubric for this because if graders have access to grade anything, they have access to the entire gradebook which is a MASSIVE FERPA violation. But I can't discuss this in the appropriate idea thread because I'm trying to support my users, not waste time becoming Internet famous on this board.
Eliminate all permissions breaks above community member, or explicitly state which permissions are necessary for each level.
