Assign To content viewable by Public and Institutional Course Visibility

PhuongDuong

I've found that Assigning content (Assign To) to students still allows those via Public and Institutional Visibility (Course Visibility) to see content. In my testing, this happens with Module visibility as well as Content in a module.

I'm wondering if this is intended or not as this allows students outside of the course to see content hidden from students enrolled in the course.

The article doesn't share any light on this.

Hey there @PhuongDuong ,

No, I firmly believe this isn't intended.

Have you by chance reached out to Canvas Support? I just tested this in my own instance and I see the exact same thing you're seeing.
