[ARCHIVED] Admin-side attendance reports

[bdaly]

Good afternoon everyone,

I'm a new admin to the Canvas LMS platform. At our school we have a set of employees that meet with students every week and go over course work, attendance, etc. It's about 10-12 employees that cover about 400 students or so. 

At the time we felt like an account-wide admin role would benefit them the most and give them access to the information they needed to conduct their meetings with students. (We also thought it would save time from adding them all to each individual course) However, pulling the Attendance reports is an issue.

The current permissions we have set for "Academic Support" is:

Courses -- view list
Users -- act as
Announcements -- view
Course content -- view
Courses -- view usage reports
Discussions -- view
Grades -- view all grades
Users -- view list

What's happening is that the employees can request the Attendance report by filling out the dates requested and student ID. However, the email from Canvas just displays an error.

Through trial and error I discovered that they need an extra permission: Courses -- add / edit / delete

I really don't want to give them that permission because it'll give them too much power over the courses. Is there a better way of doing this or am I missing something?

Thank you all!
