Engineers are currently investigating the issue.
Description
When grading scheme is in use as default for a course or account, it cannot be archived. The greyed out archive icon reads as “You can't archive this grading scheme because it is set as a default for a course or account.”
When attempting to un-archive an older already archived scheme which is used as a default somewhere you are met with the same error as above(says archive, even though you’re trying to un-archive it.)
Expected Behavior

Workaround
No workaround exists at this time.
Steps to Reproduce
-
Create a grading scheme on account level.
-
Add it as default for a course or account.
