what user permissions are needed to update the users data using /d2l/api/lp/1.35/users/

What Permissions would an Academic Support role need to access Classlist Awards in a specific course
I have created an Award system in a course & as administrator I am able to see "Classlist Awards". But I have employees who are in the Academic Support role & they can not view the awards students are getting within the course. I have tried to add Manage awards & Manage certificates but they are still not seeing the…
Are you able to add Awards to the Class Progress categories?

Limited Permissions in Course Despite Being a Super Admin
Hi, I'm a Super Admin for our Brightspace environment. Prior to becoming super admin, I was enrolled as a section instructor in a few courses. After becoming Super Admin, for some reason, I was still not able to access that course as anything other than instructor. I could see myself enrolled as a section instructor but…
Advanced Video Editing Permissions
Good Afternoon Everyone, I am an admin for my school's D2L. My instructors are having issues accessing Advanced Editing for videos. New → Video or Audio → Upload When the video fully uploads and process there should be an option for "advanced editing" underneath it. Next to "change file" For my admin account, I can see…
Is there a way to let users toggle roles when logging in?
There are sometimes scenarios where specific users need to be granted user rights beyond their "day job". This could be in support of a project or other specialized role. Rather than add user rights to a subset of users, its beneficial to setup a separate role for that need. However, one user cannot have two roles,…
How do I add a TA for my course (college level)
I'm trying to add my TA to the course to access. I am not sure what role to assign as I can't find a TA designation. I am not sure the best way to do it.
Dept Head Role not being reinstated after enrolled, then unenrolled as Univ Instructor
Most of our department heads are also instructors. One of our department heads was enrolled as an instructor for a course at the beginning of the summer, but another professor took over. The system made the switch, but he lost access to the course, even as a department head. Shouldn't he have defaulted back to department…

I've looked through the permissions section and don't see a matrix for setting and expected behavior for the Custom Report Framework section.
Can "Treat ungraded item as 0" be disabled?
Hi there, Is there a way to disable the "Treat ungraded item as 0" option in Gradebook settings? We don't want instructors to use this as it results in inaccurate reflection of students' current grades. Thank you, Amy Johnson
Roles & Permissions Issues
I've been troubleshooting an issue for the past week regarding facilitators' roles and permissions settings. I've enrolled several facilitators into a course and none of them are able to view any assignments. The instructor and I have double checked assignment settings (hidden vs. visible) and found no issues on that…
What is "Help > edit the help text" role permission?
I searched the Roles and Permissions documentation () and could not find information about the following permission: Help > Edit the Help Text What does this permission allow the user to do, see, and are other permissions required for this permission to be effective?
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…
How do I restrict an Insert Stuff option to certain roles?
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 permission enables the search bar?
What permission enables the search bar above? I do NOT want the Advanced Search features - I just want users to be able to search for a keyword in their course titles. Reason: Our courses do not have start/end dates. We want users to be able to access the materials at any time. Eventually users self-enroll in a lot of…
Navbar: Limit Custom Link Group to specific roles?
