[Building Sakai] Kaltura plugin "Download" option

[Robert Long]

Kelly,

There is no direct way in the UI to disable the download functionality for an instructor on an item by item basis without affecting other collections and items, as far as I can tell. You could disable permissions for the instructor role to restrict what they can do in Media Gallery, but unfortunately, as instructors of the course, they have the ability to modify permissions and could reset any permission you might set. You would have to add some logic in the code to not show the ‘Download' link for items owned by the library users. I would take a look in viewCollection.jsp and ViewCollectionController.java as a start.

We have some media uploaded by librarians through KMC and associated with certain sakai sites, and the library is reluctant to allow the faculty to be able to download them. Wondering whether there is a quick solution for it.
