Judy Stern commented on MH-7787:
--------------------------------
Here's text I think we can use:
New functionality for Matterhorn 1.2 allows you to assign access privileges to
Series, in order to limit who can view Recordings that are part of each Series.
When you create or edit a Series, you will find a Privileges section, in which
you can assign View privileges to roles existing in the system
[insert screenshot here]
Any Recordings that are part of that Series can be viewed in the Engage
environment only by those users that have roles that have been given View
privileges for that Series. If you want a recording to be viewable by all users
whether logged in or not, ensure that the View checkbox for "Public (no
authorization required)" is selected. (Future versions of Matterhorn will
extend this functionality to provide editing/management privileges to roles you
select.)
You (or whoever is configuring Matterhorn) will want to provide your own roles
and users, but out-of-the-box you will find that Matterhorn has the following:
Roles are SERIES_1_STUDENT, SERIES_1_INSTRUCTOR, SERIES_1_ADMIN thru
SERIES_10_STUDENT, SERIES_10_INSTRUCTOR, SERIES_10_ADMIN as well as two
additional roles: ROLE_ADMIN, ROLE_USER,
Users are student1 through student200; admin1 thru admin10; instructor 1 thru
instructor10. Passwords for all users are identical to usernames.
Each user has a series-specific role, i.e. instructor1 and admin1 have roles
SERIES_1_INSTRUCTOR and SERIES_1_ADMIN. Roles for student users match the last
digit in their username, e.g. student3, student43, and student123 all have
role SERIES_3_STUDENT; student10, student 70, and student 100 all have role
SERIES_10_STUDENT.
All users have role ROLE_USER.
ROLE_ADMIN is currently only assigned to the Matterhorn administrator, "admin".
Series in the system out-of-the-box are Series #1 thru Series #10. Each of
these is preset to allow for View privileges for those in student, instructor,
and admin roles matching the series name. That is, Series #1 has View
privileges assigned to those with SERIES_1_STUDENT, SERIES_1_INSTRUCTOR, and
SERIES_1_ADMIN roles. You can alter these privileges easily: on the Series
page, click Edit for the Series for which you want to edit privileges.
When you create a new series (using the Add Series button on the Series tab OR
by entering it on the Schedule Recording or Upload Recording) it is given
public view access by default. Note, however, that there is a known bug which,
in the latter case (that of creating the series when scheduling or uploading)
causes the Edit Series UI to not properly show that it has Public View access
(the Public View checkbox will be unchecked).
