General question - what is the point of having the “Course > Evaluate” option in Power Users permissions if they PU can’t actually evaluate or see any assignments that are uploaded by their users?
I am running into an issue where I need Managers and Team Leads (given Power User permissions) to be able to evaluate learner’s assignments, for a couple reasons.
- This is an accountability process for us - we want to hold the TLs and Managers accountable for approving their team’s assignments.
- Removes the overhead of another team (my team) from having to manage this.
Right now, according to this article, only “Instructors and SuperAdmins” can evaluate assignments. The problem with this is, Instructors gives the Manager/TL too much visibility, beyond their team and instead EVERYONE enrolled into the course. Obviously SuperAdmin is out of the question. On top of that, they have way to much access as an Instructor. Linking this thread for visibility: Big Bug with Courses/Power User/Instructor permissions | Community (docebo.com)
IMO, one of these things needs to happen:
- Create a new enrollment level between Tutor & Instructor - the Evaluator, giving them the ability to evaluate assignments for individuals assigned to them via groups/PU assigned users/groups, plus other Tutor permissions.
- Change the PU profile permission to allow evaluation assignments within courses.
- Have a field in the Course Properties that allows you to assign specific PU Profiles to evaluate assignments for their managed users.
To hold on to our accountability process, we’ll have to temporarily promote TLs/Managers to Instructor so they can evaluate and then demote back to Learner afterwards.
