Having an issue with ta users not being able to view a student's past answers and I'm hoping someone can point me in the correct direction on setting this up correctly.

Here's what we're doing/seeing

1 We set act as another user permission level to ta, allowed to view past answers is also set to ta

2. The ta user looks at a problem for one of the students.  They can see things like number of attempts and score and all that

3. Click on the show past answers button and we get the following:

Answer Log
No problems matched the given parameters.

If we go through those steps as the professor and admin we can see the past answers fine.

One additional wrinkle is that ideally we would want the TAs to see the past answers for problems without having to act as the user. We don't want the TAs to see grades. In the setup above, because the student is acting as another student they could also see grades.
If we don't allow them to act as the student, then they can't even get to the webpage showing the problem, the number of attempts and the button to show past attempts.
