[Building Sakai] Control number of users in Sakai sites

[Alaa NIZAR]

Hi,
Definitely yes. 

A new feature will take more time and resources to be done.

I hope if there is a work around it.

I thought of a new link tool, with php. The idea is to let the site owner add/remove participants through forms and webservices.

The control with be done softly in php nothing to do with sakai code at all.

What do you think?

Yours,
Alaa

Hi Alaa,

To clarify, I believe you are hoping such a feature exists or that something relatively easy could be modified to create this capability?

Thanks,
Neal

Hi All,

We have a special use case that I want to share with you and try to find solutions for it:

I have normal project sites, that users can create by their own. Those type of sites, and because they are available to anyone in the system to create, can grow high. I want to limit the number of users in this type of sites to a  configurable number.
Whereas online courses are created by the admin and the site owner can add/remove participants. Because those type of sites use BigBlueButton as video conferencing solution, I want to limit the number of members that the site owner can add.
Yet, I want Tutoring type of site to be limited to no more than 10 students.

Ideally, I should be some configuration like this:

max.participants.count=4
max.participants.project=20
max.participants.course=50
max.participants.onlinecourse=30
max.participants.tutoring=10

This way, the number of users per site is shown on the site setup tool, while adding participants.

This must be set by the sakai admin, with the possibility to change it per created site, just like how site quota works.

Besides, we are not using any roster or student systems.

To put it simple,  *It's a quota for site members.*

Yours,
Alaa NIZAR
