I understand the reasons why it would be helpful to separate out the delete permission. I'm looking into how big the effort would be and will post an update here. -Cosme

This seem like another situation where the primary concern is the delete functionality. I will see what kind of effort this would be and will post an update there. -Cosme

There is a significant project that we are working on early this year regarding personalized learning that will enable the workflows that are discussed here. This will be a big effort, but the implementation will likely be different than what is described here. We will be archiving this implementation of the feature, but are excited to show you what is coming soon.

I love this idea. I think it is unlikely we would be able to implement this feature given the other priorities we are working on right now. I'm exploring the possibility of an option that would have to be run manually rather than a background process that would have to scan all files in a course to see where it might be linked all the time. I'll post what I find out here.

Hey Kona, we would definitely implement this feature as an option rather than the default setting.

At this time, we will not be able to build a printing function for a whole course that extends beyond what is available for the epub export.

It is clear that the accidental deletion of files is the biggest concern here. As I research a possible solution, is it safe to say that leaving Add and Edit permissions together would not be a concern?

It seems like most of the concerns regarding this permission are related to the deletion of course sections. If users were limited from deleting SIS created sections, would that solve the problem without further changes?

We generally have a high bar for adding new permissions as they increase the complexity and cost to implement new features. I think the most compelling argument in this thread is by @gladysie regarding what permission allows a user to view SIS information (and how it should be managed by the "Read SIS Data" permission). Are there other reasons certain users need to be able to add a user to a course but not remove the same student from the same course? If not, I'm inclined to archive this issue.

I'm unclear what would happen when you copy a module structure. Does that mean if I copy module 1, then I would have a second module that links to the same content as was in Module 1? Another option would be that the copy process would automatically make a copy of every item in the module (likely named "Copy of Assignment 1" or "Copy of Quiz 4") and then create a new module with links to the new content. Yet another option would be to have the system look at the contents and then create empty shells of the same types of content that are linked in the new module. I guess I need to know what part of the course creation process is this feature trying to make easier.

Sorry for the delay with the update. I had two engineers look at this issue and after trying a couple things unsuccessfully, we are trying to work with other teams to find the expertise we need to make improvements here. I'm still hopeful that we will be able to fix the UI here.

After a discussion with one of our engineers, this seems like something we might be able to squeeze in over the next six months. To make this available there would be a relatively small code change, but we would need to make that change to all the jobs that import different content types. I've added it to my short list of things to prioritize when we have a little room to work on other projects.

This is a great idea. Is it fair to assume that the "Quick Student View" would be useful as part of the navigation on any regular course page (pages, assignments, discussion, etc.)? We are almost done fixing the user search page which includes a quick link to masquerade as users, but this sounds like a different workflow (see what the page I'm working on looks like to a general student rather than view Canvas from a specific student's perspective). If my description describes the need well, I can work with our designer to see how we could incorporate that view into many of our pages.

Thank you for the feature request. I can see how referencing the page ID number rather than referencing the page name would help prevent some of these links from breaking. I completely agree that this would be a better solution, and I have added this to our backlog of work to track it. Unfortunately given the other priorities we are working on, I think it is unlikely that we will be able to get this done in the next six months. I will be happy to update this post if that changes.

Only one feature wouldn't really fill the space under the tree now would it? @kona needs to learn how to think bigger.

It seems like the group consensus is that it would be more important to separate out the "remove" permission more than separating the management of teachers from the management of TAs and Course Designers. Would that be a fair description? If there were two permissions, "Add other teachers, course designers, TAs, and Observers to the course" and "Remove teachers, course designers, TAs, and Observers from the course" would that be sufficient for your institution?

As is mentioned above, there is already a way to copy objects including modules into a course using the course copy tool. Commons can also be used to copy a module to another course. Given there are good alternatives to accomplish this goal, we will not be able to invest in adding this feature right now.

There is a team that will be doing work on the Rich Content Editor (RCE) early next year, and adding auto-save functionality will be part of that project. This will likely be complete in Q1 (or maybe Q2) of next year.

I have good news. We have engineers working on updating the interface for the course and users search right now. This feature will roll out to beta in the next release or two, and I would love to get your thoughts on the new design and whether this meets your needs in the newly designed state.
