| Lumiere | hi th1a | 19:57 |
|---|---|---|
| Lumiere | th1a: I sent dwelsh a note earlier about CanDo's use of the 'student' group | 19:58 |
| Lumiere | I think SchoolTool needs to have a policy on what groups should/shouldn't do for a user | 19:58 |
| * Lumiere doesn't like that CanDo ties functionality to groups | 19:59 | |
| *** mgedmin has quit IRC | 20:19 | |
| th1a | Lumiere: Ayt? | 20:37 |
| Lumiere | yea | 20:37 |
| th1a | Here's my thinking: | 20:37 |
| th1a | SchoolTool has two parallel systems for keeping track of permissions. | 20:38 |
| th1a | For school-wide issues, you've got groups. | 20:38 |
| th1a | For in-section issues, you've got relationships within the section. | 20:38 |
| th1a | So in a sense, what we've got here is a clash between the two levels. | 20:39 |
| Lumiere | yes | 20:39 |
| Lumiere | but I think the problem is that we're not using the right systems at the right times | 20:40 |
| th1a | In which cases? | 20:40 |
| Lumiere | (in particular, CanDo always uses groups when they should be using relationships) | 20:40 |
| th1a | Oh, that's your problem. | 20:41 |
| Lumiere | CanDo basicly *never* uses a relationship | 20:41 |
| th1a | I see. | 20:41 |
| Lumiere | I think the only time it does is that it uses course leaders for course assignments | 20:41 |
| Lumiere | th1a: it comes from when newskin was made | 20:41 |
| th1a | Yah. | 20:41 |
| Lumiere | you had to be in the student or teacher group to see an interface | 20:41 |
| th1a | Admittedly, it might have been saner to make people either a student OR a teacher and go from there. | 20:42 |
| th1a | But you still need to keep track of permissions via section, because teachers can only see THEIR students. | 20:43 |
| th1a | It doesn't seem like it should be too hard to make your permissions more relationship based. | 20:44 |
| Lumiere | I just have to convince welsh | 20:45 |
| Lumiere | and aelkner | 20:45 |
| th1a | Even if you were using roles to choose which views you show, you could update the underlying permissions. | 20:47 |
| th1a | Here's the thing: IT IS THE LAW. | 20:47 |
| th1a | Teachers can't view all students. Period. | 20:47 |
| Lumiere | I know... | 20:47 |
| th1a | So we win the argument in the long run. | 20:47 |
| Lumiere | th1a: I am just saying, we should write these sorts of things out in the book under developers at some point | 20:49 |
| th1a | Yes, you're right. | 20:49 |
| Lumiere | as our policy and reasoning behind them | 20:49 |
