[Using Sakai] Using SAKAI Course sites

[Kara Stiles]

Hi Igor,

This may have something to do with your group template realm
permissions, which get copied into a new group realm each time you
create a group or section for the worksite.

If you are using sections instead of groups, this can cause group
realm permissions to be a bit tricky.  Try these steps to solve the
immediate problem:

1. Use the realms tool in the Admin Workspace to locate the realm for
the course site

(a site realm looks like this: /site/c4140376-5502-47d1-b4c4-a2e6969892b1 )

2. Click the site realm, and make sure the student role has the
following permissions: calendar.new and section.role.student

3. Next, use the realms tool in the Admin Workspace to locate the
realm for the section(s).

A section realm (which is the same as a group realm, so I'll continue
to call it a group realm) looks like this:

/site/c4140376-5502-47d1-b4c4-a2e6969892b1/group/ff0c10d3-8283-414d-b8a7-d692acb57168

4. Click the Student role in the group realm, and make sure that the
student role has calendar.new and section.role.student

5. Repeat this for all group realms in the site

6. Test, and if it still doesn't work, then maybe someone else has another idea.

If this technique *did* work, to prevent this problem in the future,
you'll want to configure your group template realms so they support
the use of certain tools when you add sections to the course.  This
page (though a bit dated) might be of some use:

Thanks,
Kara
