Hi Stijn, In 1.8, we have this feature enabled by teacher. It is important to consider all the major use cases. For example, in the case of the free campus, teachers should not be forced to follow a common administrator decisions. They should be able to define their own templates. There are other cases where an institution relies on their teachers to generate templating documents. The rule of thumb to gain maximum flexibility is to define a permission for that or a setting that says "Allow teachers to define their own templates". That's a logic that's been quite successful in terms of flexibility in 1.8: always give the right to the admin, then let the admin decide if others can manage that feature too.
