“No users selected” when grading an assignment

This message can appear when the assignment’s current filters leave no students in the grading list. Clear the filters first

1. Open the Assignment in your module and select the Submissions tab.
2. Clear any text in the student search field. Set the Status filter to All.
3. If you have selected a group, change the group filter to All participants.
4. Open Advanced filters, if shown. Clear any other filters, such as Marking state, and click Apply.
5. If the first-name or surname letter filters are visible, set both to All. Select Reset table preferences if that option appears.
6. Return to Grade and select the student you want to mark.

Do not select “Requires grading” to fix an empty list. That option narrows the list further and may exclude the student you need. Once students appear again, you can use it to show only work that needs grading.
