Hi Gabrielle.R,
By third party tool I'm assuming you're referring to LTI tool content links.
And you're right, the completion status of an activity in the 3rd party tool is not currently recorded back in Brightspace aside from the user clicking on the link to access it. This flow is dependant on both sides: the LTI 3rd party tool provider sending the completion data; and Brightspace capturing the completion data.
The idea for Brightspace to capture the completion data sent from a LTI 3rd party tool provider is a good one. Please consider making a submission to the Product Idea Exchange (3rd Party Tool) for review and consideration. If possible please connect with the 3rd party tool providers requesting the sending of the completion data to the Brightspace where required.
Just to note this is different for SCORM content, where a SCORM object can send back a completion data to Brightspace if its designed/built to do so.
Regarding access to the Class Progress tool, this is controlled through the Admin tools > Roles and Permissions. Before making any changes at that level please consider making completion tracking on the LTI tool links a manual task for the learners vs. being an automatic one. See https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/3561-track-content-completion-and-participation
Hope this helps!
