# Anonymous Grading

Sometimes you may prefer to grade anonymously yourself or have your graders grade anonymously. CodeGrade assignments have a setting to hide all occurrences of student and group names in our user interface. This guide explains how you can turn this on for your assignment.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Anonymous grading is a UI-based feature, it hides all occurrences of student and group names in our user interface. Names in code, the Filesystem folders, exports and plagiarism cases are **not** anonymized. You may disable some of these functions for your graders [using our permission system](/setup-assignment/other-features/configuring-permissions-of-roles.md).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Users with the [permission](/setup-assignment/other-features/configuring-permissions-of-roles.md) "*See anonymized names*" can see student and group names even if Anonymized grading is turned on.
