[Building Sakai] Debugging Sakai SiteAction

[Zhen Qian]

Hi, Jaco:

With current security implementation of Sakai, only admin user can access any site without being member of the site.

In University of Michigan, we also feel the need to address the site permission need for helpdesk staff. We have recently developed a "AdminLite" tool and used it in production. You can find the source code at: https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib/umich/adminlite/tags/1.1, and the requirements are documented at UMICH-232 "Admin Lite Functionality".

You are welcome to try out the tool. Please let me know of any suggestions.

Thanks,

- Zhen

We have a special user (refered to as 'helpdesk') for our site and we want to duplicate this behaviour. Currently when I log in with the 'helpdesk' user, and select a site hyperlink from the Worksite Setup list view, only sites that this user if a participant off will display otherwise the site link will take the user to a view lokking like the screen print below. Is there a way to change this behaviour without adding this user as a participant?
