[Contrib: Evaluation System] Issues with group provider/CM integration

Hi all,

We've configured the EvalSys group provider for integration with CM.
As part of this configuration, we've created a "Dept Admin" role. The
CM "CourseSet" data for each college includes users in this role.

The "eval.assign.evaluation permission" is automatically assigned to
the Dept Admin user for any groups (courses/course sections)
associated with the same CourseSet.

The EvalSys tool has been placed in My Workspace sites only (not in
any course sites). From their My Workspaces, Dept Admins can push out
evaluations for instructors in their particular colleges.

We have a few queries/issues involving this configuration:

1. Instructors may no longer create evaluations for either their
courses or for ad hoc groups. Is there a way for instructors to still
create evaluations if a Dept Admin is also creating them?

2. Instructors and/or dept admins (e.g., any user with
"eval.write.template" and "eval.assign.evaluation") cannot share
evaluations and results. Is there a way they can do so?

Thanks in advance to anyone who's using this configuration and can
help provide some answers.

Best,
