Ensure visibility of file attachment options for node administrators in the Institutional Hierarchy – 3900.121
Impact: Administrators

Idea Exchange ID: LEARNU-I-585
We’ve enhanced the course archiving experience for Institutional Hierarchy Node Administrators by ensuring consistent access to file attachment options without requiring administrator enrollment in the course.
Previously, Node Administrators experienced intermittent issues where file attachment settings (such as Include File Attachments, Calculate Size, and Manage Package Content) were not visible unless administrators were manually enrolled in the course. This workaround led to unnecessary administrator enrollments in archived courses.
Enhancements include:
- Reliable Access: Node Administrators can now consistently access all archive-related options without needing to be enrolled in the course.
- Privilege Improvements: We updated system role privileges to ensure that Node Administrators inherit the necessary permissions to:
- Include or exclude file attachments during archiving
- Calculate course size
- Manage package content
- Manage archived packages
- Improved Workflow: This update eliminates the need for manual workarounds, streamlining the archiving process and preserving clean user lists.
This change improves administrative efficiency and ensures a more predictable and professional experience when managing course archives.
