[Building Sakai] Global permissions for a user

[Feliz Gouveia]

Having global permissions as you suggest could do it. Turning a file public
in MyWorkspace is also a form of communication; private messages in
Messages also. Probably more.

Another approach would be be to track events, so that an instructor can
check which students created events "of interest" during a given period.

greetings,
Feliz
