Revision of Permission Concept in Individual Assessment

1 Initial Problem

The current implementation of the Individual Assessment object has a different handling of permissions for grading users and see users learning progress compared to other object types in ILIAS. There is no dedicated permission „Grading“ like known from the Test Player or the Exercise object. This activity is controlled by the permission „Edit learning progress“. This should be changed to streamline the behaviour of all object types in ILIAS.

2 Conceptual Summary

The following changes at the permission concept are suggested:

1. In the object type „Individual Assessment”, a new permission „Grading“ is introduced. It gives access to the tab „Participants“ of the Individual Assessment object and allows to grade selected users and to finalise the grading. It does not allow to change a finalised grading (this requires the already existing permission „Amend grading“).

2. The existing permission „Edit learning progress“ is renamed „Edit learning progress settings“ and gives access to the tab Learning Progress, sub-tab „Settings“. It does not give access to the „Participants“ tab and not to the „All participants“ view of tab „Learning Progress“. This permission is only offered for editing the LP settings.

3. The existing permission „View learning progress of others“ gives access to the tab „Learning Progress“ and allows to see the LP status of all participants in this IA. But it does neither give access to the sub-tab „Settings“ nor to the tab „Participants“.

Permissions for existing IA objects should be changed as follows:

• Roles and role templates with former permission „Edit learning progress” enabled should get additional permission „Grading” through DB update step.

3 User Interface Modifications

3.1 List of Affected Views

• No changes in views

3.2 User Interface Details

The only visible change due to this feature are:

• an additional row for the new Grading permission in the table „Object Permissions Settings” in tab „Permissions”, in the role settings and the role templates
• changed labels for existing permissions, see above.

3.3 New User Interface Concepts

None
