Grading Categories and Weights

[TehminaAli]

How can the administrator set up assignment categories and their respective weights for courses and then lock them? The instructors need to be restricted from changing the categories and their weights.

Hello @TehminaAli 

Thank you for contacting the Instructure Community. We're sorry to hear you've been experiencing issues with locking weighted groups. The only way to do this would be to remove the permission from teachers being able to edit the assignment groups but this will likely cause issues with them editing or being able to move assignments around themselves. Here is the Canvas guide:

Beyond that, you could consider creating a template that all of them have to use or a Blueprint course where they aren't able to edit them. These are probably your best options:
