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.
Go to the Announcements tool.
Select the Announcements tool from the Tool Menu of your site.
Click Permissions.
Modify the permissions for the roles listed.
- Activate the box related to each permission you would like to allow for a given role. Deselecting a box will remove the corresponding permission.
- Click Save.
In the illustration above, students have been given access to create an announcement and to edit or delete an announcement that they created themselves. With these permissions, they cannot edit or delete the announcements created by others.
A role must be present in the site in order for you to modify its permissions. For instance, in a project site, different user types may be available to modify, such as the Access role (i.e., students/participants) and Maintain role (i.e., site owners/instructors).
