To support the ability to allow system administrators within institutions to enable or disable notifications settings within Learn Ultra.
We would value client and community feedback in this area, so if you are able to offer any feedback on the following questions this would help inform our design research:
1) On a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being not important, 5 being very important) how important is it for the Sys Admin to control the default state of the notification (on or off by default)?
2) On a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being not important, 5 being very important) how important is it for the Sys Admin to control the ability to completely remove a notification setting from their instance of Ultra?
3) Should an admin override a user's settings choices in the system if the user's choices were not aligned to institutional policy?
4) Would an Admin want granular control of notifications based on user roles?
| Product Version (if applicable): |
In general, the local system admin should be able to control "everything" about the system. But for these particular issues:
1) 5
2) 5 and this is far more important than controlling the default states
3) Difficult to answer because system admins have never been able to "override" any settings for users, such as discussion forum subscriptions, course list Favorites or My Grades display options, without impersonating that user. It would be useful to be able to see and modify "everything" that a user currently controls privately.
4) Yes, notification controls based on Institution Roles and Course Roles. And it would be cool if you could build in "email by institution roles" at the same time.
