Dear All,

I am a VERY new user of Mahara so apologies for "dumb" questions :(. Is it possible to allow restriced access, for example, for a supervisor to a student's FILE areas without having to grant the supervisor full login rights etc? What I'd like to find a way of doing is being able to view and download documents for revision and then upload again with tracked changes without having to email the student separately with the revised document attached...best regards, Matthew

Hi Matthew,

If you are wanting to change files, I would use an external application such as Google documents as you can just share a link. The link could be shared in a Mahara view. Others will have alternative suggestions I am sure, but my opinion is you should never restrict yourself to one application (whether Mahara or any other app) but rather should use the one that best suits your purpose.

Regards, Ian
