Manage rating and commenting access by strategically placing the interface: use restricted blocks for teacher-only access or the main course page for general participation.
For even greater control, leverage Moodle’s restriction engine to grant access based on specific conditions — such as activity completion, group membership, or achieved grades. This allows you to create adaptive workflows where users only gain the ability to rate or comment after reaching certain milestones. Precise user permissions further control the ability to view, edit, or delete comments, maintaining a safe and moderated space for all users.
