Roles and Permissions

I have a particular instance where a faculty member wants to allow one of her student workers to be able to grade a certain set of assignments. She doesn't want them to access the entire gradebook but only be able to grade these assignments. Is that possible? I understand that I may need to create a Student Grader role but…

Some of our courses are available for a period of 12 months from the date of enrollment. Some of our learners, however, request a discretionary extension towards the end of the 12 months. We offer this extension in the form of 1-3 months, through the use of IAs, Groups and a "Learner - extension" Role. Is there a better…

How can you change a user role? e.g. from designer to Learner.

If you have multiple markers, how do you set WHO can publish grades, to avoid markers accidently clicking publish instead of save draft when grading?

Good Morning, Our institution uses sections to manage large intakes. We have up to 200 students for some intakes. We would like to look into ways to stop instructors from posting in other sections, as many often forget to restrict their posts to their own sections. Is there any way for their roles to only post to their own…

I've received a request from faculty/administration to create a secondary learner role for our institution. They would like to be able to see whether students enrolled in their courses are student athletes. I know that I can create two roles, Student and Student Athlete, but would there be a way to map those so that they…

Just wondering if there is a way to post an Announcement on the Homepage but can only be seen by role permission? Example, a Faculty Survey posted on the Announcements page but can only be read by Instructors and has a clickable url. Same with Students, Student Survey posted on the Announcements page but can only be read…

Hello wonderful D2L community! We have somewhat of an urgent issue that I'm trying to understand. We worked with our LMS administration to create a unique role that allows us to use the LMS autonomously for our internal courses (corporate use) and still protects the academic use of the same system (students). We currently…

Hello - I have Sys Admin role in Brightspace and can view Discussions in Class Progress and view how many posts a student has made on each discussion (inital post & then replies). I am trying to give Academic Support roles the same view, because my Award system is set up that a student needs 3 posts per discussion.…

Hi there, Does any know if changing the following config variable, d2l.System.Enrollment.LearnerRole, is only applied to Discover courses? We'd like to change the role for Discover courses, but are unsure if changing the config variable will impact students enrolled via SIS. Thank you for any help with this, Saafi

Where can I find a list of all permissions in Brightspace?

As a Brightspace Admin, you can create new roles which have custom permissions. We are discussing adding a new role, and would like to check with the community if they have had any concerns or can raise considerations for adding new roles, and having too many roles on the system?

Please share your organization's best practice on how we can allow users to view an expired/closed course—but NOT earn a certificate. Is this handled through an intelligent agent role change with different roles and permissions assigned to that specific role? Such as a 'Read Only' role?

I searched the Roles and Permissions documentation (About roles and permissions - Brightspace) and could not find information about the permissions under the Media Integration tool. These permissions are accessible to administrators when creating or editing a role from Roles & Permissions in the Brightspace LE. What do…

Is there a way to reset my role on the user profile?

Here is an example: When creating a user account for a particular individual, they are assigned the Administrator role and enrolled in Course A using the bulk user management template. The Administrator role is not cascading. That user is then added to a user collection, and, later on, that collection is also enrolled in…

After creating a class, adding the instructor to send invite but emails are not sending to instructor to access resources.

We are trying to determine which new roles or altered roles we need and find it cumbersome to compare roles through the system.
