Read Only Roles

Read Only Roles

Hello


We are about to put our Moodle 1.9 environment into an archive state, so that content and grades can no longer be changed.

Has anyone created read-only roles for student and teacher?

One of the issues i have come across is that to allow the teacher to view all assignment submissions and grades you need to allow the mod/assignment:grade capability. This would mean that the role isn't truly read only and grades could be changed.


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Changing roles to read only will probably radically change the way Moodle appears to a person with that role. You might be better off creating a database user and restricting making it read only apart from the tables that must be updated. I have had a go at that with Moodle 2.X and it seems doable though I have never put it into production.

The Open Unversity switches all students to a read-only role at the end of each course, and that works well.
