[Building Sakai] Using external javascript

[Matthew Jones]

a) There is no way of changing js per role overall. With AntiSamy the
possibility for this exists, and some tools have started to experiment with
it. But I'm not 100% sure.

AntiSamy has multiple profiles (HIGH/LOW/DEFAULT and NONE) that a
individual tool can select filtering for under certain conditions. (
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/KNL-1048). I know it was mentioned for
Lessons but can't find that jira.

b) There is a site property that allows an admin to add whatever text they
want (javascript included) which would be included in the sites header (
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-15097). This site property (I
believe) is called
sakai:htmlInclude. It might do what you're looking for. You could also edit
the portal vm's if you wanted it to be server wide rather than on a
specific site.

c) I agree that an LTI tool external to the system might be good too.
