Set Observer role to only view grades

[vljohnson]

Hello, 

I have a group that wants to view only their athletes grades in Canvas. I was trying to create a role in Canvas, which can only view students' grades. I was trying to base it off of the Observer and student role, but nothing is working. They mention that they were able to do it at another school but they had a programmer that did an API. We don't have anyone to do that.

Can it be done from Permissions? Any reason, this is not a good ideal....FERPA? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated?

Thanks,

Vicky J
