[gradebook2-dev] Dropped students grades kept?

Hi, Kelly,

One thing to keep in mind is that if the process that you have for
dropping students from enrollments includes removing the students from
either the user table or
the sakai_user_id_map table and/or removing them from being resolvable
via the UserDirectoryService (via UserDirectoryProvider), then the
grades for (or the mere existence of) those students will (IIRC) be hidden
from GB2.

So before trying to nail down an obscure (and possibly non-existent)
bug in GB2, I would make sure that the integrity of the data that
identifies that student remains.

Can you comment on that?

Thanks,
Jp

I tried import/export after the student dropping and restarting the server after the dropping but neither of them will trigger the grades erasing for the student? Can you shed me some light on in what occasions this can happen? Some faculty are concerned about this and we are trying to pin down the reason.
