Todd,

The "Expire all student spreadsheets" link has apparently only been  
displayed  to users with a DC role in the course's domain since the  
link was added in LON-CAPA version 1.2 (summer 2004).

See:
http://bugs.loncapa.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2945
for the original enhancement request,

and

http://source.loncapa.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/loncom/interface/spreadsheet/classcalc.pm (rev 1.19) for the original  
implementation.

The decision to restrict this to DCs was presumably taken to minimize  
the impact of the performance hit when a spreadsheet is next displayed  
in a course, following the action to expire all student sheets.
