To clarify now,

I just installed and activated nbgrader as root but apparently I
should do this for each user on the system who would like to use
nbgrader as the activation happens inside ~/.ipython. That was a case
for the question above I think. Or maybe it is possible to create a
system-wide ipython profile which will get inherited by regular users.
I don't know, I'm confused :)
