Good day, Please can you assist with our special users who need to amend the Manage Special Access settings on assignments. This specific user has the same level of access on Brightspace however they cannot change any settings on the Manage Special Access feature. Is there a limited amount of users who are permitted to…
I am required to accommodate students who need to be able to go back and forth through quiz questions. I can't find a way to manage special access to provide this flexibility. How can I do this?
We are looking for a way to bulk edit/update Special Access for Assignments so that admins do not have to manually add these to every individual assignment. We are looking for a way to automate special access for our students with reasonable adjustments using API. If you've experimented with this before we'd be super keen…

If I set in class list an accomodation time multiplier, is the extra time automatically added to the time available for the quiz for that student?
We should be able to post content and release it to students with (e.g.) group/section parameter AND a time parameter. We teach multiple sections and release different versions of assignments to different sections. These assignments are only open during their section times. Blackboard has adaptive release rules that enable…
We've got a quiz running, where all users have 5 attempts to pass. If they don't pass in 5 attempts they can request extra attempts. We add these using Special Access in the Availability Dates & Conditions menu. It's been working fine since January, but this week although the extra attempts are showing in the Special…
I have a client who is managing several lab courses, scores of sections with thousands of students across I'm not sure how many courses. The labs that meet on different days have different due dates.
