Provide More Granularity for Permissions Configuration

Status: Identified Submitted by Instructure Alumni on ‎01-20-2023 09:01 AM

Theme Overview

There is a need to either split existing permissions, or add new ones, so that admins can create roles that can do their jobs without extraneous permissions. 

What value could this provide to users?

  • Moderate discussions is split into separate permissions for add/edit/delete
  • Calendar event management is split into add/edit/delete permissions instead of 1
  • Make student view its own permission
