Description

At the moment, both an instructor and their graders have the same administrative powers when grading. As far as the average assignment goes, this is probably fine, however it would might be preferable if an instructor could block their graders from altering certain assignment (e.g. tests). As far as I'm aware, if a grader were inclined to artificially boost the test grades of a particular student, there wouldn't be anything to stop them.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. First clarify the permission model for instructors and graders, including which assignment changes instructors can restrict. Done should include an agreed distinction in administrative powers and protection for restricted assignment elements.
