Department Chairs to have Access to Department Members Gradebooks

It would be helpful for heads of departments to be able to access their fellow department members grade books, to monitor consistency for our team teaching.  They don't need to be Grading Managers.

    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.

    Would love for department chairs to be able to access gradebooks and course pages for their own department. Our messy workaround has involved adding them as co-teachers to classes as needed, which makes a mess of their personal schedule and makes it unclear who is teaching what at a glance.

    Does anyone know if this has been implemented?

    I'm just today adding another Chair as a Grading Manger to accomplish the same task described, and once again feeling very uncomfortable with the level of access they'll now have. Wish there was a fix for this.

    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.

    Yes!  This is very much needed and was an option when we utilized FAWeb.

    There are several threads about this feature. If they were all combined there would be close to 50 votes for this. I only say that so that Blackbaud understands this is a very needed feature.
