Tips:
For external moderators, you can follow the same steps. If you want to limit external moderators’ access to the selected student assignments, please create groups and set the group mode in the assignment to allow the group filter. To make sure the external moderator can only see their own groups, you can set a separate group mode. For details please check this user guide: Filtering student submissions
