[Building Sakai] How to make roster tool available only to maintainers

[Kara Stiles]

You could try setting the functions.require value in the roster tool's reg file to roster.viewprofile or something.

The functions.require setting sets the permission required in order to view a tool.  Setting/changing this value works for most tools.

Looks like this:

 <configuration name="functions.require" value="roster.viewprofile"/>


For some reason, the roster tool doesn't seem to have a default functions.require value in its tool reg file.  Strange.  Most tools have that.  I'm not sure if adding this config value will even work for the roster tool, but I suppose it'd be worth a try.

I seem to remember having a problem with this same issue in the roster tool awhile ago.

Hi all:

In 2.5.x, even when all roster.* functions are unchecked in a Student role
in the !site.template.course realm, if the roster tool (not the roster
embedded in the Site Info tool) is chosen when creating a new site, then
users with the Student role see it as well. The roster tool may be hidden
using the Page Order tool under Worksite setup on a site by site basis by
the site creator. Is there a way to hide the roster tool globally, so that
maintainers may see the tool but that other roles may not, without having
maintainers specify the behavior for each site separately?

The toolOrder.xml file does not quite seem to do that, and the
hiddenTools at org.sakaiproject.tool.api.ActiveToolManager property hides it
from all users.

Thanks,

Steve
