Students have no option to change their nicknames #139

Closed jez closed 9 years ago

jez commented 9 years ago

Currently, the only way a student can change their nickname is by having a TA or Admin change it.

The route is there, but you have to go to Course Admin > Manage Accounts and then click on the email of one of the students > Edit Information. Notice that that whole workflow assumes you're a Course Admin.

If this is by design, then go ahead and close the issue. In the past though, people have always been able to change their nicknames at any time.

Yes, it's very important that students should be able to change their nicknames.

This is a pretty serious privacy issue.
