Removing "Email WeBWorK TA" button from all problems

Hello there!

I am a 5th year physics major working with a professor to create a new physics course using WeBWorK.  One desire of his is to remove the "Email WeBWorK TA" button that appears at the bottom of each problem.  Does anyone have any ideas on where I could start with solving this?  Thanks for your help!

In the "Course Configuration" menu, under the "Permissions" tab you would want to edit the setting for "Can e-mail instructor". That sets a value for $permissionLevels{submit_feedback} in simple.conf of the course.  Setting the value to "nobody" in the menu sets
$permissionLevels{submit_feedback} = undef;

in simple.conf and should disable the button from appearing.

See:  https://webwork.maa.org/wiki/Permissions and the comments in the default course.conf file.
