You must have the appropriate permissions to leave comments, assessments, or annotations on an item in a user's ePortfolio. You can receive permissions to comment on, assess, or edit a user's work in one of two ways:

• The user gives you the appropriate permissions.
• You set up a forced sharing group for users in a particular course that gives you the appropriate permissions.

Encouraging users to give you permission to comment on and assess portfolio items that relate to course work is an excellent way to provide users with informal, intermittent feedback.
