Permissions for the Blackboard LMS Gradebook Integrations
This resource will discuss the different permissions sets needed to use the Outcomes for Blackboard LMS. There are two different set of permissions used: LMS Permissions and Outcomes Permissions.
LMS Permissions
Using Blackboard LMS permissions, you will be importing outcome assessments and data from the LMS into Outcomes experience. This means the person who will complete the import action in Outcomes will need to have the proper permissions in the LMS to all the courses they will be importing data from.
These actions will have to be completed by someone with the proper access on your campus. We suggest you reach out to your campus’s LMS administrator for more information.
Blackboard LMS Permissions
In Blackboard LMS, users will need to have one of the following course-level roles in all the courses where you want to import data from:
Facilitator
Instructor
Student
TA
Grader
Outcomes Permissions
The person performing the import must have access to the institutional hierarchy in Outcomes where assessment data will be imported to. This person will need a minimum of Creator permission at the given organizational unit.
For example, if a users will be accessing the integration to import assessment data for the courses in an academic program, the user will need at least Creator permissions at that program in Outcomes to complete the action. Please note, users do not need permission at each individual course within Outcomes to view imported LMS course data. You can reach out to your campus’s Outcomes Site Administrator for more information.
