Restrict web access

Using the Turnitin website to edit classes or assignments that were originally created within an integrated LMS can cause usage errors on both platforms. Administrators of accounts with configured integrations can manage the level of access for the Turnitin website allowed to their instructors and students.

The options include:

  • Full Access

    • Instructors - are able to edit, create, and delete classes, assignments and submissions.

    • Students - are able to view and edit their profile details, join and drop classes that they are enrolled into, and submit to their assignments.

  • View-only Access - When view-only has been enabled, instructors and students will be able to view details for:

    • personal details

    • class and assignments

    • submissions

    • student details (instructors only)

  • Disabled - Instructors and students will be able to see the name of the accounts that they are enrolled into, but can only see and interact with their account within their LMS.
