URGENT Feature Request: Restricted Instructor Access for Course Area
D
Dr Michelle Commosioung
Dear Go High Level Team,
I hope you are well.
I am writing to submit an urgent and important feature request regarding the Courses area within the platform.
At present, when granting access to instructors/teachers within a course, they are given visibility and control over the full course backend. This creates a significant operational and security concern for course providers like ourselves.
The Core Issue:
We need to assign teachers/instructors to review and mark student coursework and assignments. However, the current system does not allow us to restrict their access to only student submissions.
This means that instructors may:
Access the full course structure and proprietary content
Accidentally modify or delete lessons/modules
Duplicate or clone course materials
View sensitive intellectual property and backend configurations
Feature Request:
We strongly recommend implementing a role-based permission system for Courses, specifically introducing a restricted role such as:
“Instructor / Marker Access (Restricted)”
This role should allow:
Access to assigned students only
Visibility of submitted assignments and coursework
Ability to review, grade, and provide feedback
Communication with assigned students (optional)
This role should NOT allow:
Editing course content
Deleting modules or lessons
Accessing funnel/backend settings
Cloning or exporting course materials
Viewing other instructors' or admin-level data
Why This Matters:
This functionality is critical for any serious education provider operating on your platform. Without it:
Course intellectual property is exposed
There is a high risk of accidental data loss
Scaling with multiple instructors becomes unsafe
It limits adoption by professional training institutions
Impact:
Implementing this feature would significantly enhance:
Platform security
Usability for education businesses
Scalability for multi-instructor programmes
Trust in Go High Level as a serious LMS solution
Given the nature of our operations and the urgency of onboarding instructors, we would greatly appreciate this being prioritized or at minimum placed on your development roadmap.
If helpful, I would be happy to provide further use cases or collaborate on testing.
Thank you for your continued work and support.
Kind regards,
