Limited Permissions in Course Despite Being a Super Admin

Roles & Permissions Issues
I've been troubleshooting an issue for the past week regarding facilitators' roles and permissions settings.

Is there a plan to allow appropriate instructor-level access to Data Hub?
Right now, we—as admins—need to pull reports for our instructors. This is because "the Data Hub tool can only be used at the org level and reports generated from within the Data Hub tool contain all org data." (from d2l's documentation). It would be nice if there was a way to allow Data Hub to be pre-filtered to only show…

When students have a text submission for their assessment, they have access to the Insert Stuff tool. I'd like to know how I can restrict certain integrations/plugins available via Insert Stuff. Specifically, I'd like to ensure that they can only access Panopto Student Submission via Insert Stuff.

What are best practices regarding archiving completed Brightspace courses?
Currently my institution's are made unavailable 2 weeks after the last day of the term, but instructors still have access to their courses indefinitely. Instructors have the capability to make courses available to students again at any given time, so in turn we run into issues. Does anyone have any experience or…

Can a Learner have two different roles in the same course?
Hi all, I have set up a online course for a subject matter expert. They need to complete the course themselves, a ong as everyone else in the organisation; however, I also want them to take responsibility for the course long term and do any course updates and run reports so I have set them up as a Super Designer so they…

Is it possible to enroll someone in a course to copy content but not modify the content?
It's been a while since we've tried this, but we occasionally use template courses and enroll instructors in it with the traditional instructor role. Of course, someone eventually accidentally makes changes to the course. In the past, we couldn't create a role that could copy/import without also being able to modify the…
