In Permissions, Separate "Manage (add/edit/delete) assignments and quizzes" into 3 permissions

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

For more information, please read through the  Canvas Release Notes (2021-09-18).


Please change each the  "Manage (add/edit/delete) assignments and quizzes" from a single setting to three separate settings.

 

Current:

Manage (add / edit / delete) assignments and quizzes

 

Should become:

  • Add assignments and quizzes
  • Edit assignments and quizzes
  • Delete assignments and quizzes

 

One reason for this request:

This will allow you to set TAs (or other roles) to only having the permissions needed. For example, just the ability to edit assignments but not delete or add one.

The Assignments and Quizzes - add / edit / delete permission has been grouped into three separate permissions. This change provides granularity in managing assignments and quizzes. (Additionally, this permission does not affect discussions, which are managed separately.)
