Changing Permissions

How do I change Announcements tool permissions?

By default, students may only read announcements that have been posted by instructors and other instructor-type roles. But permissions can be changed so that students may create, edit, delete, and even access draft versions of the announcements not yet published.

1. Go to the Announcements tool from the Tool Menu of your site.

   

2. Click Permissions.

   

3. Modify the permissions for the roles listed.

   1. Click the boxes on the table to grant or revoke permissions for its corresponding role.
   2. Click Save to save your changes.

   Note: You may see different roles listed depending on the roles which exist in your site. A role must be present in the site in order for you to modify its permissions. For instance, in a project site, you will see the role for Access (i.e. students/participants) and Maintain (i.e. site owners/instructors).
