By default, delegates can manage the learning standards for the courses they are assigned. Even with no extra permissions, delegates can create and edit groups and standards. However, they cannot publish by default.

- **Publish learning standards** — Allows delegates to publish learning standards for the selected courses.
- **Create standard clarifications** — Adds clarifying statements to learning standards.
- **Approve activities for this course** — Gives delegates the ability to approve activities submitted by teachers for the selected courses.
