Roles and Permissions

Adding super administrator permissions?
We're having an issue with the permissions on our Instructor role, which is preventing them from being included on emails being sent out to Learners. It looks like as an Administrator I can't edit permissions on roles and only Super Administrators can do that — but it appears there are no Super Administrator users in our…
Super Admin has student role in LTI tool
Hi, I'm working with a user who has a super admin setup (cascading roles) with access to most everything. However, when this user launches an external LTI tool D2L is passing multiple roles - including the lti and context roles of Student - "roles":…
Classlist E-mail Function
My question is if there is a way to disable the "Send E-mail" function for Students in the Classlist within Brightspace, just from a few specific courses? Or is the best route to remove the Classlist tab from the Navigation Bar to not have the E-mail option available? Thanks!
Why don't I seem to have role based access to API from a logged in session?
Hello, I am using a javscript file hosted in public files and a widget to prototype a tool for our school. I use replace strings to create a global variable with the org unit id that my javascript can access. I am able to use the org unit id to create API urls that allow me to retrieve information about the course (for…
How did you set up the OneDrive LTI?
Hi community We at Michener are exploring the OneDrive LTI as a way of reducing/eliminating the need for students to request permission to view videos in SharePoint where the link is in our BrightSpace instance. Our IT team is confused by Microsoft's documentation: We can't identify the correct level/kind of permissions to…

How to lock the units in D2L Brightspace New Experience
Hello D2L Community, I am working on a project, and we have made our modules using Articulate. We pasted them into the course shells as SCORM Objects with a window player. We use new learner experience. The challenge we are facing is that we require a passing score in a final quiz of the modules (we have 3). However, with…
Lumi Doesn't always show up
Anyone else out here using Lumi? We are just moving to D2L and have gotten Lumi Pro (not Creator). It is set to be available for specific roles right now as we get the hang of it. The issue I'm having is that the button doesn't always show up when I create a new assignment, quiz or discussion. Has anyone had that…
Change view from student to Instructor
My view is Student when I am an instructor.
Has anyone been encountering problems with Release Conditions lately?
I was wondering how to control the visibility of assignment submission folders and quizzes according to sections. I have attached released conditions to a Teacher Facilitator role so that they can only see assignment and quiz submissions specific to their section, but for some reason, they can still see all assignment…
Can a super admin disable the "Import from file" option for creating in-course Learning Outcomes?
Is it possible for an administrator to remove the "Import a file" option for instructors who want to run files to create new Learning Outcomes in their course? I have looked at the instructor role permissions for Learning outcomes and I was unable to locate a setting to disable that specific feature.

I have three Brightspace courses that don't seem to be editable. Why is that?
Gradebook > View Auditor "Not Authorized"
When our faculty users attempt to look up a student's auditor (coach), they receive a Not Authorized error. This error also occurs when an Admin user impersonates a faculty member. However, when an Admin uses Role Switch to faculty, the error doesn't occur. What's going on, and how do we let faculty view auditors? The…
Multiple Roles for Users
Hello, I'm just looking at roles in Brightspace for the first time and I have a question about how roles work. Most users are set up using standard roles, however a number of users have slightly different requirements - they may need access to certain functionality not allowed by that role but also which might be a unique…
Why does a zip file contain hidden documents in 'view as student' mode?
If I download a zip file of a unit content in 'view as student' mode, it also contains the hidden and deferred publication documents. This causes unrest among teachers who test this, while in reality the student does not receive those files in the zip file. Why is it possible to download those files in student view mode?
