Improved gradebook access and control settings

Status: Identified Submitted by Instructure on ‎02-05-2023 07:28 AM

Theme Overview

Between permissions, assignment settings, and gradebook settings, there still is not enough flexibility to give the correct level of access and control to certain individuals.

What value could this provide to users?

  • Separate various permissions and/or assignment/gradebook settings for further control of read/write/edit access
  • Control over who can edit or post grades and when
  • Allow for grading activity without allowing full gradebook access
  • Increased anonymity for rubrics/outcomes and other grading features
  • Provide additional controls over grading policies
