[Building Sakai] Problems with Assignment 2 Permissions

[David Adams]

Hi William,
I haven't worked with Assignments 2, but this sounds a lot like an issue that I discovered six years ago that, as far as I know, hasn't been addressed:

  https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-6361

If it's not this problem exactly, it definitely seems related. Curious for your thoughts or those of anyone else.

It turns out that when an instructor goes into the permissions tab for Assignments 2 and makes any changes or no changes at all and hits the save button the permissions for the Student role get set to none for submitting and reading.

From the instructor's view, it looks like all submissions were lost. From the student's view they still may submit according to the assignment's settings. The current fix has been going into realms for the particular site, and turning back on two permissions (asnn2.submit and asnn2.assignment.read)
