After clicking Email Users Without Submissions within a dropbox folder, the To field displays ALL students in the
classroom that have not made any submissions to the folder. This occurs even if the instructor is not enrolled in the
same section as the student and is therefore unable to see them in any other part of the course. Clicking Email Users
Without Submissions should allow you to email those users within the class that you have permission to view
submissions for, and not for other students such as those enrolled into sections that you are not enrolled in.
Found in D2L Learning Environment 10.3 SP9.
To reproduce this issue:
1.
In a course, enroll 2 learners and 1 instructor (ensure that the instructor role cannot see all sections and users by
default).
2.
Create two sections. Enroll the instructor and one learner in Section A and the second learner in Section B.
3.
Create a dropbox folder.
4.
Impersonate learner A and submit a file to the dropbox folder.
5.
Impersonate the instructor and view the dropbox folder. If you change the Submissions drop-down list to Show
everyone, you should see only a single student who has submitted a file and not the second student who exists in
the section into which you are not enrolled.
6.
Click Email Users Without Submissions. Observe in the To field that ALL users are listed, even the student who is
enrolled into a section that you do not have access to see (and does not appear in the list of users whose
submissions you can see).
