[Building Sakai] Editing Course Site Participants

[Zhen Qian]

Hi, Mike: 

This is totally valid request that at least one instructor/owner role user
should remain in the site after roster removal. In fact, could you please
take a look at this jira SAK-20457
(https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-20457)?  

Please let me know whether it addresses your request. 

Thanks, 

- Zhen

 Here at UNC we are using SAKORA to manage our course sites and rosters. We
are currently in the process of allowing the Instructor create Courses and
attach Rosters to the sites through the course site creation tool. This all
works great, but we have run into a issue when the instructor removes the
roster, they essentially remove everyone from the course, including
themselves. Now the instructor has no access to the course site that they
were currently managing, so they go back through the course site creation
process, get a message that there course has been created, and have to
create a
duplicate course instead of being added back to the course they
once were in.

 I would rather have the remove roster function only remove students from a
course site in this manner. This would prevent duplicate sites from being
created by instructors in Sakai when they are just trying to get there
access back to a site they once belonged to and accidently removed there
access to. Also the removal of the roster probably should have a error
message telling the instructor in more detail that they are going to remove
there access to the site.

 This is a reason that I could see for keeping instructors in courses when
the roster is removed.

Paul: 

Your Quartz job synchronizes roster information with Sakai course site.
Those added site members are considered as provided by external provider
(your course management system). Hence there is no option to remove them
within Site Info tool.  

Since the roster information contains both instructor and student roles,
remove a roster takes away both user kinds. Is there any specific reason to
just keep instructors and remove all students from a course site? 

Thanks,

Hello, 

currently we're inserting our Sakai Course Management through a Quartz Job
via Job Scheduler. 

We're using the Course Management API's to insert the data. 

When I sign on with a user that has the 'Instructor' role I can see that
he/she is added along with all the students (users with 'Student' role),
but there is no option to remove the students from the site? 

Also, when editing the class roster I only have
the option to remove the
roster. When I do click it, it removes the instructor from the site aswell.
Is there a maybe a way to exclude the lecturer from the roster, so that
he/she is not removed? 

Thank you 

Paul
