[Permissions] Make the New Quizzes Settings Permission Based

Right now any user in an admin account role can adjust the scores in New Quizzes for any teacher at a school site.  We use Grade Guardian which allows account admins to access specific dashboards of students.  The ability to change scores is not permissions based so even disabling the permission for an admin role who should only be able to check grades does not work.  Please consider patching this function and making New Quizzes permissions based so we can control what level of access our users have.

We have set up district-wide assessments in separate courses using New Quizzes. We created a Test Administrator (course) role so that all they can do is add and remove students, view grades and monitor completion of the assessment. They cannot add/ edit/delete assignments or pages, but they CAN edit the New Quiz!!!!! Help Please make New Quizzes permission-based so we can lock these assessments down!

Very keen to have the ability to control new quizzes permission based.

In our institution we have support staff who will be teaching content but are not/should not be creating it. They need to see quizzes in advance to prepare for tutorials, however should not be able to have any editting rights for the quiz. Please enable permissions in the New Quiz LTI so that we are not extending permissions more than they should be.

Our teaching staff need to be able to view quiz questions and quiz statistics but not edit quizzes. With New Quizzes we are forced to cut off their access to quizzes altogether to prevent editing. Please enable more customisable permissions for institutions where teaching staff are not content managers.

Yes please allow us to set editing/viewing permissions for New  Quizzes.  Even TAs can edit new quizzes, and also do grading (we have a role for TAs where they are not allowed to grade, they are similar to tutors.)

This was rather shocking to learn, that any user who is not allowed to edit course content or grades can edit and grade new quizzes.  I understand this is an LTI and will need a special set of permissions so hope this can be done.

At our school, we have curriculum/course building separate from faculty. Currently faculty can circumvent our course update process by just editing themselves. This is extremely worrying for me.

We also need to allow some course roles and some admin to view a new quiz without being able to make any edits to the questions. Role mapping is essential for our use of New Quizzes. We have worked with other LTI providers to ensure that our custom roles map correctly to roles available in their tools, Canvas needs to do the same for their own product!

I too would like to add my concern about New Quizzes being non-permission based. Is it possible to restrict teachers from editing questions in New Quizzes, as it is with Classic Quizzes? Our teachers are not quiz designers. Having permission settings will also prevent unwanted incidents such as accidental deletion or question duplication.

We have a department observer (account) role (with very limited permissions) within our university, which is used a lot. Next to that, we also have a few departmental student assistants with a role on account level. Since these users will have a full admin role within New Quizzes, we can't start using New Quizzes at the moment.
