[Using Sakai] Instructor submission after accept-until date

[Norman Danner]

Could someone please explain the rationale behind the fact that I, as 
the instructor, cannot submit an assignment on behalf of a student after 
the accept-until date?

Typical use-case:  student screws up, convinces me that I should accept 
the late submission by e-mail.  Student has not submitted anything at 
that point, so "resubmission" is irrelevant.  I know the "right" 
response is to tell the student to take his/her lumps, but sometimes I 
agree that there are extenuating circumstances.

It seems to me that since I am the instructor, I should be able to 
submit on behalf of the student at any time without having to go through 
the contortions I do right now (i.e., change the accept-until date to 
some later date *for everyone*, submit for the student, then change the 
accept-until date back).

Or, am I just missing some configuration?  I'm using Sakai 10.3.
