NOTE: This will require a forced backfill of course outlines to update
the course content data in learning_sequences:
python manage.py cms backfill_course_outlines --force
Without this backfill, the learning_sequences API will continue to serve
stale content data that has no user partition group data. It won't cause
errors, but it won't do the exclusions properly.
Commit summary:
* Created EnrollmentTrackPartitionGroupsOutlineProcessor to process the
enrollment_track User Partition Group, allowing Sequences and Sections
to be removed based on their group_access settings.
* Added user_partition_groups attribute to CourseLearningSequenceData
and CourseSectionData in learning_sequences/data.py, along with
backing model data.
* get_outline_from_modulestore now extracts group_access settings from
Sections and Sequences. It also bubbles up group_access settings from
Units, meaning that if a Sequence with no group_access setting has
Units that are all set to show only to the Verified enrollment track,
then the Sequence will only show to the Verified enrollment track.
This commit adds model-level support for all user partition groups by
capturing all the content group associations (group_access), but it only
implements the code checks for the enrollment track partition. It's not
clear that we want to generalize, since there's only one other partition
type (A/B testing) that is applicable at the outline level.
It's important to note that there is no way to set the group_access for
a Section or Sequence in Studio today. It's only possible by direct
editing of the OLX for import. That being said, the block structures
framework supports applying course groups at this level, and this commit
moves learning_sequences closer to feature parity.
The bubbling up from Units to the parent Sequence was done to mitigate
confusion when a Sequence is entirely composed of Units that are not
visible to the user because of content group restrictions. It's not
clear whether this is something we want to do in the long term, since it
would simplify the code to always specify group_access at the Sequence
level. This first pass is done partially to collect better data about
places in our courses where this kind of usage is already happening.
Most of the EnrollmentTrackPartitionGroupsOutlineProcessor code and its
tests were written by @schenedx.
