[Building Sakai] LTI roles in portfolio sites

[Maurer, Christopher Wayne]

Oh hey, I just noticed that this is possible in trunk of basiclti.  That's nice.  Is this part of what will likely get ported back?  I know that there was a separate conversation about some of the newer lti stuff finding it's way back to 2.9?

It looks like in the code, if the user is in the maintain role for the site they get Instructor, otherwise they get Learner. For a porfolio site realm the default maintain role is "CIG Coordinator" Any other custom mapping or logic seems like it would require some code changes.

In a normal course site, the difference between learners and students, teachers and instructors are just a matter of semantics. Even TA's could be rationalized to be playing the role of an "Instructor" for most purposes.

However, in portfolio site there are a few different roles (Coordinators, Evaluators, Reviewers and Participants) with different parts to play in some portfolio processes.

When I test the LTI tool, I see the following mapping:

Sakai role                LTI Role
--------------------------------------------------------
CIG Coordinator       Instructor
Reviewer                 Learner
Participant               Learner
Evaluator                Learner

I'd like to be able to adjust this for our purposes and perhaps suggest that a different default behavior may be needed OOTB.

How would one configure a mapping between Sakai site roles and roles passed as part of the launch request?
