The View Courses permission provides read-only access to course information across a user's school. Unlike Administer Courses, users with this permission can review course information but cannot make changes.
Configure the permission
-
From Tools, choose User Management.
-
Select Permissions.
-
From Administration Settings, select View Courses for a role.
-
Click Save permissions.
Read-only bulk edit access
Organizations using View Courses can also grant read-only access to Bulk Edit.
Enable View materials settings in the Courses permissions for a role. Users with View materials settings enabled but Manage materials disabled can access Bulk Edit in read-only mode.
Additional permissions
Users with View Courses can:
-
Submit assignments on behalf of students.
-
Reset Course Access Codes.
-
Download Parent Access Codes.
-
Print or export grade reports.
Users cannot access apps or web packages through View Courses.
View Courses permissions apply only when users access courses through their role permissions. They do not apply when users are enrolled in a course as members. In those courses, users can access only the information available to their enrollment type.
