[Building Sakai] Sections

[JOSE MARIANO LUJAN GONZALEZ]

Hi Nguni,
Are you using the tool Section Info? If you do, you should have in mind 
that Sections are designed to work with categories.

In your case, if a Teacher creates a two sections (SECTION A and SECTION 
B - both from the same category i.e. 'lab') then a student will only be 
able to join one of those two sections.

 From the Official Sakai Guide Book: "Unlike groups, a student can 
belong to only one section of a given type at a time. For example, it 
does not make sense for a student to be in tow labs in the same course." 
So your error might come from there and that is why the concept of 
"category" was introduced.

or

We also had some problems at the beginning when customizing our own 
roles and permissions. You should check your realms in that site and 
check for the "section.role.instructor, section.role.ta and 
section.role.student" permissions to check if they have been configured 
properly.  I recomend you to take a deeper look into this confluence 
page: 
https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/SECT/Authorization+and+Section+Awareness+rules+in+Sakai+2.1

    *The SectionAwareness API uses the following rules when determining
    the membership lists of sites and sections
    *

Hope that helps!
