[Building Sakai] Configure a role of instructor so that he just can update Site Info (course's syllabus) only

[Raad Al-Rawi]

Hi Tin

I think knowing your use case in more detail would help make a judgement here - can you describe more precisely what your instructors need to do and why?


Cheers

Hi Raad, Steve,
Thanks for your support.
I have read the Jira issue SAK-7768. Do you think we should split site.upd to other small functions? If we do this, we can more flexible configure for site.upd and make it suitable for some situations (exp. my request).

Best regard,

Tin Nguyen

Hi Tin

I'm afraid you are correct - the admin/maintain permissions are not that fine-grained as to allow editing the site information but not editing the tools. Unfortunately, in the code, the 2 functions are enabled by the same permission (site.upd).

Hi Raad,
Thanks for your answer.
The thing I want is the instructor just only have privilege to edit Site Information, not have privilege to control other functions (add user to site, add tools, ...). If I configure the role of instructor with site.upd, he not only can modify site's title/description but also can add more tools  and can do some other functions. Can I configure Sakai to do this?

Best Regards,

Tin Nguyen

p/s: i have read Permission Definitions in Sakai here https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/DOC/Permission+Definitions+in+Sakai+2.5 and I don't see any strategy to configure the instructor's role like i want.

Hi Tin

There is more than 1 permission that controls the various admin functions, e.g. site.upd allows them to change the site configuration (edit title/description, edit tools etc.) but won't let them amend membership (that's controlled by the site.upd.site.mbrshp permission)

What things do you want them to be able to do in Site Info?


Best regards

Raad

Subject: [Building Sakai] Configure a role of instructor so that he just can update Site Info (course's syllabus) only

Hi all,
I have a question is can we configure a role of instructor so that the instructor just can update Site Info (in our university, it's course's syllabus) only?
If we can't configure, is there another tool to use?

Please help me,

Thanks,

Tin Nguyen
