We have more than 300 students in 1 course. We need to give access to an external party to check results and assignments for 5 students. What would be the best way of doing this so that they don't have access to the other students.
@jikolji -
I am not 100% sure on the following method because I have never tested it out. If you can add them into your class - or have an account created at your institution for them that you can then add that dummy account person into your class. Then add them in as a TA and restrict their viewing to a section that you create with the 5 students they need to look at. I know there is the option when you add a person to a course that they can be restricted to interacting with students in their section only - I just don't know what that actually means view wise.
You can easily try it out by first creating the section with the 5 students. Then add one of your colleagues to the course as a ta with restriction to that section only. Then your colleague can log in and see what is available.
Here are some useful links from the instructors guide:How do I add a section to a coursehow do I edit sections for enrollment in a courseHow do I add users to a course
Edit : I just tried this out in my lab course that has 4 sections. I added one of my dummy students in as a TA with restriction to a single section. I could only see the students in that section. So What I state above will work. What @Chris_Hofer mentions is a possibility as well.
Good morning, @jikolji ...
I'm not sure if this role would fully meet your needs or not, but have you considered using the "Observer" role for this external person? Here is a bit more information on this role (this is a Canvas administrator Guide, by the way):

You might want to have a conversation with your school's Canvas administrator to see if this might be a possibility.
Good luck!
Hello! I am using a canvas assignment text box to do an in-class writing task for my students. I would like to limit the features of the text box to prevent cheating. How can I remove features like "add code" or "access google" so that students can only do the simple task of typing an essay? I am already using Securly to…
Hi everyone, It looks like the multiple rubric idea has bounced around a bit with the different feature request methodologies over the years, including a mention in New & Next 2024 according to this post, interviews in the enhanced rubrics features group, being listed as "under consideration" on the new roadmap, and this…
I recently had an exam provided as a Canvas Quiz in my class, and used some questions copied from question banks from other sections and prior years of the course. Some of those questions had "General Answer Comment" text already saved in them. I changed that text in several questions as I updated/changed the questions.…
I would like to suggest improvements to how collaborations function within Canvas LMS. Currently, collaborations are somewhat limited in how they can be accessed and integrated into course content. One potential improvement would be allowing collaborations to be directly linkable within Pages and Modules. This would make…
We are using the Learning Mastery Gradebook with an rubric on account-level. When we enter the gradebook, the sorting does not make any sense. How can we make the sorting so it makes sense to us. It feels like a randam sorting.
