[Building Sakai] Manage Access' Site Visibility update unavailable for courses

[John Leasia]

Jean-Francois -
I think that is how it has always been configured. You can change it 
though -

By default, Course sites are forced to be on the Sites tool list of 
sites in the system, and project site creators have the choice of 
whether to be listed or not. Which types of sites are forced to the 
list, which are automatically prevented from being on the list, and 
which have a choice is determined by settings in the Site Info tool 
definition file, sakai.siteinfo.xml. The values for 
publicChangeableSiteTypes, publisSiteTypes, and privateSiteTypes specify 
which sites have the choice to be private or public, which are always 
public, and which are always private.

<!-- types are seperated by , don't forget to put corresponding 
type_categories.xml into the reg folder-->

<configuration name="siteTypes" value="course,project,portfolio" />

<!-- default site type -->

<configuration name="defaultSiteType" value="project" />

<!-- types of sites that can either be public or private -->

<configuration name="publicChangeableSiteTypes" value="project" />

<!-- types of sites that are always public -->

<configuration name="publicSiteTypes" value="course" />

<!-- types of sites that are always private -->

<configuration name="privateSiteTypes" value="" />
