We would like students to receive announcement notifications, but not parents. Currently there is no way to manage this by role - the announcement notifications are either on or off for everyone. Can we have more fine-grained control over this? Thanks
Hi Nate, I'm not sure why some were done one way and others not likely just a progression of requirements over time and older ones weren't cleaned up. I can take an inventory of announcements in the system and see if we can get any that don't have roles settings updated.
It seems as though some notifications can be controlled by role (in the Academics category, for example), but others, such as "Announcement Posted" cannot. Can you clarify here? We still have cases similar to the comment from 2017.
Hi all, this is old I know and I just took over notifications so trying to get through the barrage of old requests and come up with a plan. I see though that our notifications in communications have admin control over which roles have access to opt-in to the notifications so I'm going to close this one out as exists but please respond here and let me know if there is still something missing on this one!
Agree 100%, and fixing this could be mission critical to the buy in process for our faculty.
Seconded! I just had a parent receive an auto-generated notification email because an announcement was posted in a class, but when they logged into the system they got an error message saying they did not have access to the announcement. It seems strange that a parent could get a notification for an announcement they don't have access to. Thanks!
