Superuser autograding status access

[Adsalor]

Describe the bug A superuser logged into Submitty cannot view the 'Autograding status' page on the sidebar or directly access it via URL.

Expected behavior The superuser should be able to view/access the status page.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Login to submitty as a superuser.
2. Navigate to the page
   /autograding_status
3. Despite being logged in as a superuser, you do not have access to this page

Configuration

• OS: Windows 10
• Browser: Edge, Firefox, Chrome

Screenshots Instructors can access this page: But superusers cannot view it in their sidebar: And attempting to access it lands on the 'you do not have access' page:

I can work on this.

Looks like the issue might be coming from $is_instructor, as superusers aren't mentioned to have access to autograding status in GlobalController.php and the access is instead explicitly given to instructors. Looking at AutogradingStatusController.php, the site access is also only explicitly checking for instructors, not superusers as well.

Are superusers not supposed to be granted instructor privileges?
