How can the administrator set up assignment categories and their respective weights for courses and then lock them? The instructors need to be restricted from changing the categories and their weights.
Hello @TehminaAli
Thank you for contacting the Instructure Community. We're sorry to hear you've been experiencing issues with locking weighted groups.
