th1aIn theory.16:53
fsufitchLumiere: ping16:57
Lumiereyea16:57
fsufitchhow should i go about determining whether a principal can modify a student comp gradebook?16:57
fsufitchand i mean conceptually16:57
Lumierefsufitch: a spreadsheet16:57
fsufitch*sigh* no, that's not what i meant16:57
fsufitchi mean like16:58
Lumierelol16:58
fsufitchi have the spreadsheet16:58
fsufitchbut who can edit it?16:58
Lumierethe only people who can edit a section gradebook16:58
Lumiereare the instructors of the section16:58
fsufitchit's not a section gradebook16:59
fsufitchit's a student gradebook16:59
Lumiereyes it is16:59
Lumierestudent gradebooks16:59
Lumiereare part of a section16:59
Lumiere:)16:59
fsufitchit could be a skilldriver gradebook16:59
fsufitchand skilldrivers could be part of a course16:59
Lumierebut you got to it from a section16:59
fsufitchi dont think that's how the traversal works16:59
fsufitchlemme see17:00
fsufitchif that's it, then that's great!17:00
Lumierefsufitch: it may not be, but all gradebooks for a section should be edit for instructor and view for that student17:00
fsufitchi know17:00
fsufitchLumiere: that _is_ how it works17:02
fsufitchyay!17:02
Lumierelol17:02
Lumiereyay for common sense!17:03

fsufitchhttp://localhost/sections/1/skilldrivers/watev/gradeCompetencies17:03
fsufitch... what did u just do?17:03
*** jboisture has joined #schooltool17:03
th1aIn the long run, SchoolTool will have a configuration option for whether school administrators and site managers can change gradebook grades.17:04
th1aSome schools would want that.17:04
Lumiereyes17:05
Lumiereth1a: permission configuration could be pretty easily cleaned up17:05
th1aI think it is ok right now.17:06
Lumierethere is no permission configuration right now really17:06
Lumierethere is access controls... but they're so global that they're useless17:06
th1aThere is a set of things you can check or uncheck.17:06
th1aWhy shouldn't they be global?17:06
th1aSchool policies tend to be global.17:07
Lumierenot really17:07
Lumierecertainly not including unauthenticated users17:07
Lumierewhich is how global schooltool's access controls are17:07
Lumiereyou check that box and anyone, INCLUDING GOOGLE... has access17:07
Lumierewe got bitten by that 2 years ago17:07
Lumiereand I am pretty sure it isn't changed17:08
th1aWell... that's more a matter of how that particular item is set up.17:09
Lumieremy preference would be to put that set of clicks17:09
Lumiere(checkboxes or whatever) as access controls to a group17:10
Lumierethen you just add a control "Can edit gradebooks they don't own"17:10
Lumiereand you choose a group that can do it17:10
