Error message: "You are not allowed to view this paper. M20: 16"

Within the Moodle Direct Turnitin integration, you may encounter the error message You are not allowed to view this paper. M20: 16 when clicking on the blue pencil icon next to a submission in your inbox. This message is displayed when Turnitin attempts to load the paper in Feedback Studio for grading and the Turnitin class has expired.

You can extend a Turnitin class by setting the Moodle course end date to a date in the future.

Once you have done this, you can sync the new end date with Turnitin by following the steps below:

  • Access the assignment Summary Screen.

  • Click the pencil icon beside the assignment section to show the edit view.

  • Click Submit without making any changes.

Please note, this workflow applies to Moodle plugin versions from June 2021 onwards. If you are using a plugin version from before June 2021, you will need to upgrade this to the latest plugin version. Further guidance on how to do so can be found here.
