Special access permissions allow for the setup of different availability dates and times for specific users. For example, extend the deadline for users who require remedial help or who are submitting work beyond the original scope of the assignment. Special access can also be setup after an assignment submission folder’s end date has passed for users who have a legitimate excuse for missing the deadline or for users needing additional materials to be submitted, such as planning notes or a bibliography.
