WHERE SHOULD I POST...?
This update confuses me. The referenced idea (https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Idea-Conversations/In-Permissions-Separate-quot-Manage-add-edit-delete-assignments/idi-p/329225) suggests three permissions, which makes sense because there are three different tasks (add, edit, delete). From the release notes, I am not sure what happened to edit, as I only see reference to add and delete. Is there any clarification we can receive as to what happened to edit? Is it mixed in with add, delete, or some third option I am missing? Is there a rationel we can be provided as to why the idea of three permissions was rejected in favor of two?
Is this permission change for new quizzes or classic quizzes?
Hi, all,
The release notes have been updated to show that our engineers completed combining all three permissions together into Manage Assignments and Quizzes. So all that previous language about waiting on future adjustments are now gone. 🙂
Thanks,
Erin
I have a question around reports, roles and permissions. Does anyone know how to pull a report, or use API calls, to get a list of roles that are in each sub-account, whether customised or not, that indicates the status of each permission associated with that role (by sub-account). Is anyone able to change my role/permission life forever and make it super simple for me to get this info?
Example, IF something were to go horribly wrong with this feature when it hits production (and I'm not saying that it will, beta indicates to me that it should go well), and I needed to know what roles in what sub-accounts were impacted, I'd want to pull a report out prior to production. This report would let me select these two permissions (sorry - the other permission being updated in this same Sept release is Groups), and show me the state of these two permissions against each role in each sub-account. Any suggestions?
