(I might be off-base here because I'm a newbie to Matterhorn, so apologies if this is not relevant to your question exactly:)
What we would really like is integration with another system's authentication. For example: 1. A capture device records lecture and matterhorn processes it so it's in Engage. 2. Nobody can browse freely to it, though, unless they authenticate into Engage (videos are not public) 3. A faculty member logs into a learning management system (we use Moodle) 4. Faculty adds a "matterhorn video" as an activity/resource in the learning management system 5. Because of their role/identity in moodle, they are able to browse available videos in Engage that match their role/identity 6. Once the video is placed in moodle, students who are enrolled in the course can view it I realize this model requires the development of a moodle plugin (or Blackboard building block) etc, but it would be great, and involves authentication so I figured I'd mention it. In other words, some sort of API web service access to whatever authentication systems you build would be great. -Pete On Thu, Sep 8, 2011 at 8:51 PM, Hank Magnuski <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you, that's exactly the right idea. +1 for adding it to the Admin > interface. > > Hank > > > On Thu, Sep 8, 2011 at 7:32 PM, Josh Holtzman <[email protected]>wrote: > >> I figured someone would want to use the default database-backed user >> directory for more than just testing, so I added a (very preliminary) UI for >> managing users and roles (see attached).
