The course_visiblity field can have one of three values:
1. private (default): This keeps the standard access rules.
2. public_outline: Allows unenrolled and anonymous users access to the outline.
3. public: Allows unenrolled and anonymous users access to both outline and
course content.
When an unenrolled user accesses course content, instead of student_view(),
public_view() is used. A default implementation is provided for XBlocks
which do not implement this view. The public_view() must not have any
functionality which assumes the presence of a valid User and should show
a readonly only interface for the XBlock content.
Content Type Gating: Xblocks that have a graded component cannot be
accessed by audit track users.
- Caveats:
- In studio, instructors can set certain xblocks to be available to
all users, but graded components will default to not being
available for audit users
- If a course does not have a verified mode option, all users will
have access to graded content.
The Waffle Flag: The waffle flag is of for now.
It's name is: ```content_type_gating.debug```
This Commit Does NOT Include: Displaying for a user WHY they do not have
access to a specific piece of content. That change will be part of
another PR.
relied on the old configuration values and old way of validating
passwords. Also improved registration page by always showing error
messages rather than hiding them on leaving the field.
This is a fix for the performance issues in EDUCATOR-3374
AWS's Aurora backend for MySQL selects the wrong index on the
django_comment_client_role_users table, leading to performance issues.
This commit replaces that join with individual requests for permissions
for each role (of which there may be several for any given user).
It's dumber SQL, but Aurora will do the right thing.
Progress page is showing certificate messages for those courses in
which certificates are not offered.To avoid it,a check is added on
the existence of active course configuration so that it should be
displayed only for courses offering certificates.

These were very early experiments by the old performance team
on using CDNs for videos and logging performance data. No one
is looking at this data and it's just extra cruft on every page.
