Role Access to Grades and Grade Books By Department

We'd like for our department chairs to have more access to grades and grade books, but only within their department. Right now, user access to grades and grade books through the Grading Manager and Grade Book Manager roles can only filter access by school level. We'd like to either have a role or roles that can be filtered by department for this information, or have the option to enable this for department chairs by default.

    Hello, Hello -

    We're currently conducting discovery around Department Chairs and the work they do. This feature request is one such enhancement we're looking at making. If you would like to participate in discovery, or if any Department Chairs at your schools would like to participate, feel free to use the link below to schedule a meeting with our product team. We'll be conducting 30-minute interviews throughout the month of November.

    Yes please! The only option now is to give them editing access to ALL gradebooks within the school. I'd like to be able to limit it to only the courses within their department, and read-only if possible.

    This would be helpful.  We get around this by creating department head accounts, then adding the department to each course.  The department head account is then a teacher on the course and can do anything the teacher can do.
