Hi Pavan,


THere are many ways to do that, below are 2 of them:

1. Edit permission, prevent students from adding a new entry.



2. Make your Database ready only.

Hi Pavan, 

You are right, the 'Export' tab is for Teachers to use only, but I think there is a bug in Permission setting for the non-editing teacher's role. Neither "Prevent", nor "prohibit" has any effect on it, sad!

You can report this bug to the Tracker if you want to.

Workaround:

Create a new role, based on Student's role (Use role or archetype=Student). The student role can't see the Export tab. Then add necessary permission to the new role.
