Hi Beth,

Thanks for the reply. On our system the box can be unchecked. The problem is that with 50 staff issuing 1000+ surveys, in spite of our best training efforts, it will likely be randomly checked/unchecked. So we need to understand very clearly what the implications of this checkbox are.

We are going to begin running some tests on our dev system to try to understand what the checkbox being checked actually does.
 
If there is a way to hide this checkbox we would like to do that.  If we can't hide it our second choice is to have it default to unchecked. Are either of these things possible?

Thanks,
Rebecca Peet

The checkbox on the individual eval remains checked and greyed out regardless of what the admin setting is.

However, now that we've upgraded to 1.4 when our staff go in to create course evaluations even though it says instructors are not allowed to view results in the eval settings ui page-- to the right of that text is a checkbox that is on by default that allows the instructor to view the results of other instructors.
