[Bug 1269411] Re: Feature Request: Group artefact permissions management tool

 

Hi Gordon,

We haven't made any progress on this issue, and unfortunately it's not
on Mahara HQ's roadmap for 15.04, unless we receive it as a 3rd-party
code contribution, or a client specifically funds its development. :(

Sorry,
Aaron

Title:
  Feature Request: Group artefact permissions management tool

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  As described in the comments below, there are situations when it would
  be useful for a group admin to be able to change the permissions for
  all artefacts in their group, all at once. (Sort of like doing "chmod
  -R".) Currently, permissions on artefacts have to be edited
  individually, which can pose problems if the "Create and edit pages"
  permission dropdown is changed after a group has already been around
  for a while.

  ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:

  Hi,
  As everyone assigned as a group admin on Mahara gets notifications when people request group membership we've tried switching staff to the tutor role in course groups, with the permission set 'everyone except ordinary members can edit'
  The staff are seeing the edit buttons, but when they click on artefacts to edit they are unable to make changes - eg to amend an existing text box. The text box opens but displays oddly and says 'the text you have selected is not editable' (see screenshot attachment). (Mahara version 1.63, LAMP environment).

  Thanks, Gordon.
