View source for Simplifying the gradebook by changing permissions

{{Grades}}
The gradebook in Moodle may be simplified for teachers and non-editing teachers by changing permissions at the system, course category or course level. The following suggested changes can be applied to any Moodle site.


==Basic method==

To change permissions at the system level:

# Login as an administrator.
# Access ''Administration > Users > Permissions > Define roles''
# Edit the role(s) of teacher and/or non-editing teacher and change chosen capabilities from Allow to Not set.
# Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "Save changes" button.

To change permissions at the course category or course level:

# Login as an administrator.
# Follow the "Assign roles" link at the top right of the course category page or the link in the course administration block.
# Click the "Override permissions" tab.
# Select the role(s) of teacher and/or non-editing teacher and change chosen capabilities from Inherit to Prevent.
# Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "Save changes" button.

==Reducing the number of grade export types==

By default, teachers can [[Grade export|export grades]] to Excel spreadsheet (xls), OpenDocument spreadsheet (ods), plain text file (txt) or XML file (xml). 

To remove grade export types which teachers aren't likely to use, change any of the following capabilities: [[Capabilities/gradeexport/xls:view|gradeexport/xls:view]], [[Capabilities/gradeexport/ods:view|gradeexport/ods:view]], [[Capabilities/gradeexport/txt:view|gradeexport/txt:view]], [[Capabilities/gradeexport/xml:view|gradeexport/xml:view]].

To remove the option to export grades completely, change the capability [[Capabilities/moodle/grade:export|moodle/grade:export]].

==Reducing the number of grade import types==

By default, teachers can [[Grade import|import grades]] as a CSV or XML file.

To remove grade import types which teachers aren't likely to use, change either of the following capabilities: [[Capabilities/gradeimport/csv:view|gradeimport/csv:view]], [[Capabilities/gradeimport/xml:view|gradeimport/xml:view]].

To remove the option to import grades completely, change the capability [[Capabilities/moodle/grade:import|moodle/grade:import]].

==Forcing grade letter site-level defaults==

To remove the ability for teachers to edit grade letters in their courses, change the capability [[Capabilities/moodle/grade:manageletters|moodle/grade:manageletters]].

==Forcing standard scales==

To remove the ability for teachers to create, edit and delete custom [[Scales|scales]], change the capability [[Capabilities/moodle/course:managescales|moodle/course:managescales]].

==Removing the option to edit grades directly in the gradebook==

To remove the [[Grader report|grader report]] turn editing on/off button, change the capability [[Capabilities/moodle/grade:edit|moodle/grade:edit]]. This will result in teachers not being able to edit grades directly or to hide or lock individual grades (though they will still be able to hide or lock [[Grade items]] via the edit categories and items page).
