Development talk:Survey 2 brainstorm

Jenny Gray wrote "once a record has been submitted by a user, who is allowed to see it (R/O access)?, who is allowed to edit it (R/W access)?, who is allowed to delete it? "

I do not see the necessity for having the "edit responses" capability for any-one (admin / teacher or student) in a survey-type activity. Once responses have been submitted, they should remain as they are...

Ciao Joseph I am the author of the text you cited. You are right until we talk about the questionnaire intended as a "pure" educational tool but in a wider sense the list of permissions I reported may become useful. I add some cases, sadly very common to me, in which reported permissions may become important. As you know, I am the collector of requests of users asking for web services through moodle at the Italian National Institute of Health.

example 1. At national level, we need to collect information about a topic. Infos come from hospitals. In each hospital there is administrative staff (group of few persons). Each people in that group needs: to enter info, to update info with the time, to see the record added by his/her colleagues (AND NOT COMING FROM OTHER HOSPITALS) and, maybe, to edit/delete their own records.

example 2. At national level, we need to collect information about a topic. Infos come from hospitals. In each hospital there is administrative staff (group of few persons). At a defined deadline, data entry has to be denied and people from hospitals is no longer allowed to add/edit/delete records BUT people from NIH is supposed to add some NIH specific additional info and maybe, edit/delete ALL entered records.

Even this, it is a long time I believe the first permissions item (ALL/ALL/ALL) has no sense and is completely useless.

As usual, sorry for my English.
